1. Red sandy shales and red sandstones 22 feet to 185 —185 
the level of small run south of the bluff. From 
the top of the red shales to the level of Red Hole 
creek on the highway 3 miles west of Ashland, 
185 feet. 
The heavy dip noted in the Tertiary marl on top of the bluff was 
also noticed in the light gray sandstone near the foot of the hill; 
but it-is thought that the dip does not continue for any consider- 
able distance. 
At the southeastern end of the ridge and steep divide between 
Little Sandy and Chapman creeks, the line of contact between the 
Ked-Beds and the Kiowa, as well as the line between the top of the 
Kiowa and the Tertiary are both clearly shown. This locality is on 
section 11, township 32 s., range 24 w., and in a direct line about 10 
miles northwest of Ashland. 
Section of Southern End of Hill between Chapman and Little Sandy 
Oreeks. 
No. Feet. 
4, Top of point, light gray calcareous grit of the Ter- 13—258 
tiary in which are blocks of dark-brown sand- 
stone apparently Dakota. Some of these blocks 
are of large size weighing 100 pounds or more. 
At first they were thought to show an outcrop of 
Dakota on this hill; but later it was seen that in 
all cases they had been imbedded in the Tertiary 
grit, being more or less thoroughly coated by cal- 
careous material of the grit, while at the north- 
ern end of the butte they are finely shown im- 
bedded in the grit capping the hill. Total 13 
feet. 
4. Mainly arenaceous yellowish shales of the upper 107—245 
part of the Kiowa containing fossils. Slope 
partly covered. 107 feet. 
2. Near the base of the steep butte, mainly black thin 388—138 
shales with occasional layers of yellowish arena- 
ceous shales. These shales contain vertebrate 
fossils and beautiful crystals of selenite.
