Abstract

In the right bank of the west branch of Pine Creek, a short distance north from where it leaves section thirty-four in range one west, township seventy-seven north, there is a pebbly sandstone, unlike the coal measure conglomerate in the surrounding country. This sandstone is mostly brown in color, changing to yellow. It has a rather coarse texture, compared with the coal measure rocks, and is somewhat more variable in this respect. The best exposure appears in a small gully, which comes down the hill from the west, some twenty rods north of the south line of the section. In all a thickness of about sixteen feet is seen.
