General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit 3FT THICK BED IN LOWER FRONTIER FM.OF GYPSIFEROUS BENTONITE
Deposit ABWilson changed commodity from Ti to Bentonite. This appears to have been coded incorrectly. The reference to Bull. 50 only mentions bentonite. There is no mention of Ti in this viciinity in either Bull. 50 nor Bull. 49 which is specifically about Ti black sands in Wyoming.
