In the NW cor. of sec. 35, Springdale Twp The steep faces of Kansan show cat-steps. I have noticed this elsewhere on the Kansan slopes. [[line across page]] At (a) sec. 8- Lyon Twp There is a great slump - I could trace Nebraskan up for 25 ft above bottom. Then as slumpy place with springs, sand & gravel washed out - probably 8-10 ft - then good Kansan above. A whole series of washouts slumps - gullys heading in same level - appears above this. [[end page]] [[start page]] 13 A greater slump farther S. shows darker joint clay below, but this may be Kansan. No water here. Near bridge a spring (seapy) appears along same line. Walked up the river about 3/4 of a mile. The bluffs are very rough & heavily timbered but I saw no exposures (could not reach the slump farther north on account of rain & late hour) & no springs. Returned to Canton and reviewed notes, etc. [[line] [[strikethrough]] Fine exposure at - lowest bottom about 5 ft. above water Top of Nebraskan 35 ft. above bottom Top of Aftonian sand & silt 70 ft. " [[Ditto for: above bottom]] Top of Kansan 85 ft. " [[Ditto for: above bottom]] [[line]] The Kansan is jointed, brown, pebbly with two steaks of gray silty fine - jointed stuff (see sample from lower one) One 3 in = 6 ft from top Other 3 in = 10 " " " [[Dittos for: ft from top]] From top to about 50 ft. [[als.?]] (from bottom) fine sand & gray fine - jointed - [[sands?]] [[/strikethrough]]
