Deposit: Four greenish-gray shales, 0.5-1 ft thick, about 2-10 ft below the marty bed, or 33-41 ft below the haystack gypsum, crop out over 40 acres or more. Outcrop johnson (april 1962) has record.

Four grenish-gray shales, about 0.5-1 ft thick, occur 2-10 ft below the marty, and contain 1700-2900 ppm cu. About 40 acres of outcrops were examined in the nw-13-2n-22w.
