Upward on slope a very distinct oxidized loess, 4-6 in wide appears & runs with slope. Over this the yellow loess could be traced for some distance - down slope [[insertion]] ^ (50 yds) [[/insertion]]. The line is here very sharp.
No drift appears.
I could see neither fossils nor nodules in yellow.
On S. side toward lane fossils appear & irregular lime nodules are very abundant near top, in blue loess.
