This same congl. occurs in 3 serarate beds in the low hill adjoining ours to the East. Here the 3 beds are separated by platy siltstones or sandstones. Since those congls. are possibly not in place in relation to the main exotic block, we are starting [['with' symbol]] the top of a similar congl. as a datum in the main block. Top of saddle is start.
