Boulders & pebbles are abundant in Kansan. The sand is cross-bedded & about 8 ft exposed is light colored, little oxidized- The Nebraskan (?) boulders are very abundant. Took two samples of Nebraskan(?) boulders. From this side the Coleman pit looks a little lower than Bretcher pit. Coarser ferruginous gravel appears lower down in a gutter (10 or 12 ft. below top of sand) Last reading top of high pit E. of Nacy's =1430 At 1265 ft going down there is (E. of Nacy's in [[end page]] [[start page]] Dennison's) a spring coming out of sand layer - Kansan in banks above. Sand in banks rises at least 10 ft. higher This seems to rest directly on a bluish shale. The shale is 18 ft. higher than spring. Top of shale reads 1275 [[image-pencil sketch of strata]] [[image captions]] Sand & gravel Shale Spring [[/image captions]] [[line]] Top of shale cliff N. of Nacy's home = 1250. This is at old quarry. [[underline]] Cut 13[[/underline]] Above this, up slope, at 1270 there is a little pit open - ferruginous sand. This is probably near top, as Kansan
