The red layer is a foot or two thick & it appears gray loess with [[?]] [[?]] (see samples). This runs up hill for only 5 or 6 ft. & [[insertion]]  then [[/insertion]] comes yellow loess with fossils & many lime nodules above.
See samples of drift & yellow loess. The fossils were mainly in lower part of the yellow loess, - on lower half of slope. The nodules near
