& more or less calcareous. Above it back of main gouge, the typical bluish, calcareous Kansan is exposed - clearly on Aftonian, & rises to top of knob. Portions of this Kansan are yellow & weathered & are just like material from slide. Knob reads 955 - top. It is Kansan clear to top. Farther south on main ridge (near where [[insertion]]cattle way[[/insertion]] [[strikethrough]]gutter[[/striketrough]] cuts near road - top of ridge =930 Top at cattle way = 905 Studied cattle way first. Top of ridge (here low) = 905 Top of Aftonian silt =895 [[end page]]] [[start page]] 125 This 10 ft. of Kansan is typical, bluish, calcareous, & with pebbles & small boulders. The Aftonian silt (see sample) is quite sharply separated from Kansan, & line is more or less oxidized. The silt is gray, horizontally laminated, & I could follow it down to 885 & it probably goes lower. This silt is largely really a very fine sand. Found fragments of shells in it. At 880 there is fine sand & this can be followed down to 870 - Then all is slumped. The big slump N. of cattle way also shows gray silt & some sand, but it is all slumped. The lowest bottomland here reads 795
