6  Is coal bearing bedrock formation  Formerly known as the callop formation  The Dalton Sandstone unit  Non-Marine Unit Crevasse Canyon

7  Late Jurassic  86.5 thickness  Upper 15 meters Gryphea Layer  Represents a Transgressive Deposit  Transgressive deposits  Oil and Gas producing  Trapping Methods Unknown Dakota Sandstone

8  Early Cretaceous  Is the Bulk of Marine Deposits in the San Juan Basin  Shale's have Fractured due to Stress  13,000,000 Mancos Shale

9  Overlays the Mancos  Cretaceous Aged  Shows a Steep Regression “Regression Gallop”  Unconformity Separates upper “Transgressive Gallop”  Oil and Gas Producing’  140,000,000  350,000,000 MCF (per thousand cubic feet” Gallop Sandstone

10  Point Lookout Sandstone, Transgressive Cliff House, Menefee Formation  Point lookout lamented sandstone; traces carboniferous shale's  Cliff House Similar; more porous  Also unknown trapping method for Oil and Gas Mesaverde Group

11  Upwards Transitions from Fluvial sandstones to Shale's  Coal Beds; lagoon environment  Fossils (crocs and cretaceous turtles; Dinosaurs Menefee

12  Highest Unit in Cretaceous Age; 75-70 million years  Only 10-16 meters thick  Not good oil producer; 55,000  Gas over 870,530.767 MCF Traps Lewis Shale Pictured Cliffs
