[[erased]] nodules [[/erased]] In [[insertion]] lower [[/insertion]] older part (where fossils are chiefly [[insertion]] found) [[/insertion]] there are fewer large nodules. (see samples.)
I could not get a sharp line exposure to show contact of yellow & gray loess, but the transition upward seems to be quite abrupt.
This exposure is just N. of 1/2 sec. line.

SW. of this exposure, across road, there is a dense thicket of low scrub oaks & hazel. Collected shells 
Took photos - looking NE.

At edge of terrace (?) E of river in sec. 8-80-36- there is a cut that shows 8 ft of yellow loess
This is rather soft, but looks OK 
note no fossils and no nodules.
