& 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.

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
