The bed of gravel and sand in this section which separates the lavas 

 from the Paleozoic series was observed at various other points in the 

 same position, though apparently much thinner. It is believed that it 

 represents the same horizon as the gravel bed of the Fishhook Bend sec- 

 tion. If this supposition is correct, it follows that the lavas are of some- 

 what later age than the fossil horizon beds of that section, probably 

 Miocene.
