by the presence on its north slope of the same ammonite zone seen at 7322. Above this was the same fusulinid and concretionary beds as just above 7322. Above the ammonite bed we walked for about 0.2 mile in yellow platy shale to the base of the big hill. Here the platy shale gave way to soft gray shale with small ball - like concretions like those seen on Sullivan Peak slope. It also had large bituminous concretions, some with black encrustations where fractured. The higher up we went the more sandstone we encountered in very thick beds. No float with fusulinids was seen on this very steep hill. At 732g (which Garner has) some fusulinids were taken in concretions. Some Ammonites were present but nothing that could be collected.

The Road Canyon on these hills had little Biohermal material and many of the limestones are separated by shales or cherts suggesting that here the Road Canyon may be fraying out.
