[[line down length of left side of page]] On S. side at height of 16 ft above track gray loess stops, with oxidized streak and passes quickly into a yellow fossiliferous loam which stands vertically on both sides. Medium rounded nodules are scattered all through. Collected shells opposite pole 6, Took samples - yellow at 5 ft above base. Gray 1 ft below its top. Took nodules from yellow. The line is quite sharp, the oxidized belt ending abruptly below, & joining gray loess. This is cut across long ridge, which doesn't seem to run out either way.

The yellow is lumpy, brownish. The gray has many iron tubes & lots of nodules. Shells occur, but not plentiful. In gray only. Collected fossils scattered all through gray loess in its upper 5-7 ft. between poles 3 & 4 I could trace the gray loess for 10 or 12 ft. down & then talus covered it.
