Lamb found a good outcrop of well-preserved and articulated shells (but less extensive than WB00-25). The top of the outcrop seems to approximate the top of the shell bed. I did dig in at one spot and found shale as the topmost layer. Source layer is sandy and cohesive. There are many large specimens at least as float that I did not collect in the absence of hardener. See Picture 12.
