M29671 = 737u
Nose of hill having type section of Decie Ranch & just east of fault

I measured 49' from first or lowest cgl. ledge to lowest part of continuous cgl. Saw no biohermals above the continuous cgl. The slope distance was about 100'. These reefy bodies are mostly calcareinte and may represent large sand banks. We were not successful in collecting because the rock is very fresh. Ammonites are abundant but we were unsuccessful in getting any good ones.

715b - This is the long slope adjacent to the ravine separating the high hill with type Decie Ranch from the low faulted block. Here the biohermal beds or rather rounded masses are scattered over the surface. These also have many ammonites but they seem unattainable because of the freshness of the rock. Cgl. beds occur among them and cgl was seen in several levels at M29. The Cgl has chert pebbles and is brown like that of the Lenox Hills.
