Clayey bentonite beds in the Morrison often have a distinctive "popcorn" weathering texture resulting from expansion of the clay minerals when they get wet. period. Date: 13 September 2018, 13:41:05: Source: Own work: [PDF] Conglomeratic Sandstone Strata At The Base Of The Brushy Basin M As part of a study of the carnotite deposits of the Colorado Plateau,, samples of ground water from the Salt Wash sandstone and Brushy Basin shale members of the Morrison formation have been analyzed to determine their chemical character and metal content. The quarry is developed in the upper part of the Brushy Basin Member of the Morrison Formation, approximately 26 m below its contact with the overlying Jackpile Member. FPS-1 comes from about 13.7m above the base of the Brushy Basin Member or 4.0111 above the change in clay minerals (CC in Figs. The quarry is developed in the upper part of the Brushy Basin Member of the Morrison Formation, approximately 26 m below its contact with the overlying Jackpile Member. (2001). These strata are discrete lithologic units that contain sedimentary structures oriented in a prevailing easterly direction, they locally rest upon sandstone in the Salt Wash that is ore bearing, and they are . Most of the fossils occur in the green siltstone . The Morrison Formation is a distinctive sequence of Late Jurassic sedimentary rock that is found in the western United States, which has a wide assortment of taxa represented in its fossil record, including dinosaur fossils in North America.It is composed of mudstone, sandstone, siltstone and limestone and is light grey, greenish gray, or red.
