145.2a is a seam in Mr. Furnsworth's yard, containing
Chonetes novascotiensis Almd.
Tentaculites Comm.
Leporidita common.
Beyrichia.
145.2a^1 is a seam 5 or 6 inches higher
containing:
Retzia Almd.
Tentaculites almd.
Crinoid joints almd.
Beyrichia common.
145.2 & B includes some fossils from the
splinter shale in the knoll on Mr.
Rogers' meadow back of the burned house,
north residence. These fossils, 50-60 ft.
above the creek include chiefly some
Beyrichia, & small Coratocaris Comm.
1/2 of Leptenospiis is y. rare.
large Leporidita

(from 145)
Continuing the section downward
in Furnsworth's Slooors have we find
that the columnar Beyrichia for a
underlying 4 feet of laked shale
containing a found of large reticoid
gastropoda ? Grammysia cingulata
the same as 5.3.8 &.
Below these 4 feet of laked shale
occur about 15 feet of semi-columnar,
much shattered dark gray flag slate fiss.
= 112'. This bedlets normally appears was-
nut in much formed but in places four
lines or amygdulite lines are clearly
traceable parallel to the beddingplanes
of the overlying underlying sediment.
This lava also contains many scattered
oval amygdaloids of the size & shape of
bean eggs, over a few inches below
the top of 1129 occur an arkose or
volcanic ash sand varying in thick-
ess from 5 inches to 20 feet, and in
places to nothing. The rock 1130
consists of angular and partially round-ed fragments of the age of pipe or little
smelzer of pink & red tuffal foldspeps and
bryotes.
The lava 1129 is underlain by
2 feet of sediments which in places but
not of thin slabs chales only slightly
break. Part of the sediment more tightly
lakes especially the upper half, and in
a couple of seams appears a foot thick
appears rhysolitic. Such a specimen
is 1131. These 2 feet of sediments
are very fossiliferous in seams which
for as much as an inch in thickness we
rendered calcereous by the contained beds
of shells, the pred bulk being gastropoda
Bellerophon carinata (acutus), Belleroph.
tritubatus, Murchisonia, Helixys Plate-,
schismus, Catelostomum, and a few
?Grammysia cingulata. These fossils are
5.3.8 C strike N. 25°W. dip 32°N. 65°E
5.3.8 & includes a couple feet
carrene seams near the top contain-
ing Large Larnellibranchia.
Grammysia cingulata
Grammysioidea sp
Cypricardites 2 sp
and Gastropoda
Platyschismia
Bellerophon tritubatus (acutus)
murchisonia sp
Helopella sp
and Spirobris on Larnellibranchia-dant.
