092-Pound_Gap

092 Pound Gap where the uppermost portion of the Mississippian Grainger Formation is here composed of alternating relatively continuous to occasionally shallowly channeled beds of sand with uniform sharp bedding planes and shale; both lithologies vary in thickness and the sands often exhibit Bouma sequences suggesting deposition from turbidite currents that were active over a mid to outer fan setting.
