dc.description.transcriptionApril 27, 1963 Dear Bill, Intended to get a note off a week ago. I have been to the locality several times. It is locally known as the "Cup and Saucer" and is just off the highway. It is a perfectly circular "syncline" in the Triassic sandstone of red beds with Tertiary in the middle. In face, from the air it almost looks like a bombing target. The origin is a mystery. Being synclinial could it be a meteor crater? I thought they were anfictual - Arizona crater for instance. It has a lot of iron modules around it but these are common in the Triassic. I would like to make the trip with you and Oscar. I am free most every other weekend counting this weekend. Pam comes over alternate weekends. She will be over next weekend. How about bringing Mary & the boys for a visit. Come anytime and we could meet Oscar in Colorado City. We could fly over and back and also fly over the Cup & Saucer. We'd sure like to have you all out for a visit. Let me know. Sam B? Hurtle Oil Co Midland
