| 24.8 – 29.0 | Sand? Washout? |
| 29.0 – 30.0 | Shell hash, some whole shells, gray silty clay. |
| 30.0 – 48.6 | CLAY, gray silty; scattered shells and shell fragments, some fine sand toward base of interval, a few phosphate grains. |
| 48.6 – 52.2 | SAND, shells, and shell hash, phosphate grains, small pebbles, some silty clay toward top. |
| 52.2 – 58.0 | SAND and abundant shell hash, shells and fragments, 10–20%, small quartz pebbles 2–4 mm phosphate. |

| 78.5 – 81.0 | Cemented calcareous SAND. |
| 81.0 – 89.8 | Sandy, silty CLAY, grayish-green, very fine sand/silty at base. |
| 89.8 – 96.5 | Calcareous SANDSTONE. Moldic limestone layers, thin. |
| 96.5 – 103.5 | SAND with quartz pebble layers, calcareous. Abundant pebbles 3–6 mm diameter. Sand, partially cemented, hard zones, shell fragments, light gray. |
| 103.5 – 105.3 | Calcareous fossiliferous SANDSTONE with hard, cemented layers. |
| 105.3 – 126.0 | Greenish-gray silty CLAY with thin shell-hash layers and scattered phosphate grains and small pebbles 2–3 mm, shell fragments scattered through the interval. |
