<br />TABLE 6 - Continued <br />12. Contact thin dirty weathered coal/surficial deposits: surficial <br />material cot~osed of weakly stratified and sorted subangular granule <br />to cobble sized medium to coarse grained feldspathic to arkosic <br />sandstone clasts in a light brown calcareous sandy soil matrix; Raton <br />Fm lithologies in addition to coal include: tan, very fine grained to <br />silty, thinly bedded, limonitic sandstone; soft, brown, argillaceous <br />mudstone to siltstone with variable silt content; dark gray to black, <br />thinly bedded carbonaceous shale. <br />13. SURFICIAL: very crudely stratified to poorly stratified subangular <br />pebble sized medium to coarse-grained sandstone clasts in a light <br />brown sandy soil to sand matrix, slightly calcareous with locally <br />heavy areas; upper 3' of section exposed in cut non-stratified pebble <br />to boulder sized angular sandstone colluvium with caliche crusts; <br />bedrock outcrop 50' east ca~osed of buff, fine to medium grained, <br />moderately well sorted feldspathic sandstone with low to moderate <br />cross stratification and occasional soft sediment deformation <br />features; overlain by interbedded very fine grained sandstone and <br />siltstone. <br />14. Undifferentiated Raton Fm of following lithologies: <br />Shale to Claystone: brownish-gray, soft, slightly silty, locally <br />carbonaceous, poor fissility, fine when trenching. <br />siltstone: grayish-brown, moderately hard, argillaceous, sanewhat <br />friable due to weathering. <br />• Sandstone: tan, fine grained, subangular, feldspathic; massive 1.5' <br />bed, hard, poor porosity and permeability. <br />TRENCH SECTION: Trench cut normal to slope <br />Side Section as follows: <br />2.0' Brown sandy soil, increasirg sand content with depth. <br />2.8' Weakly stratified and sorted subrounded pebble to cobble-sized <br />sandstone clasts in a very coarse grained to granule sand matrix; <br />pockets and lenses of granule to small pebble gravel at irregular <br />basal contact show fair sorting; upper 0.8' has caliche - coated <br />clasts, local calcium carbonate at base; generally deficient in clay. <br />3.0' Very poorly sorted and non-stratified angular to subangular pebble and <br />occasional cobble sized sandstone clasts in a sandy clay martix; <br />occasional rounded clasts. <br />1.4' Light brown sandy clay - rich horizon, somewhat cohesive, will not <br />aggregate. <br />No H2O or bedrock encountered. <br />Up-Slope Section (end): <br />3.2' Dark to light brown soil, decreasing in clay and organics with depth; <br />occasional round pebbles toward base. <br />1.5' Light brown sandy soil with calcium carbonate staining. <br />4.7' Same as previous 3.0' interval on side, occasional poorly sorted <br />areas. <br />• 1.4' Sandy clay - rich horizon, as before. <br />2.04-15 <br />
