practically the same in both flags, and
both except that Wilsonia found in the shale
appears to be absent from the flag, and
Leptostrophia common in the flystone flag,
appares to be rare in the shale.
Wilsonia common
Leptostrophia (of nervosa)
? Rhipidomella occasional
Dalmanella
Chonetes common
Stenoschisma orea
Monotypa (small) "
Springopora "rare"
Crinoid columns occasional
The STRIKE of these beds is N 25° W.
DIP 92°, N 85° E.
5.33. I. E. - three feet thin, nearly papery olive
gray shales . Fossils very scarce:
Leptostrophia (of nervosa type) orea.
Dalmanella rare
Lingula yp.
ores.
Shellmells of Parapetas rare.
5.33.I. F - 2 feet dark grayish blue flystone
dust flags . Fossils abundant in a seam in the
middle.
Strophonella(?) yp. almid.
Leptaria rhomboidalis "
Atrypa reticularis "
Wilsonia (large)
Orthis rare
Crinoidal remains orea.
Zaphrentid coral rare
The strike is N 40° W, DIP 48°, NSD B. A kind
specimen of the rock is 1155.
5.33.I. G. 4½ feet thin papery gray shales
weathering olive in color on exposed faces.
Rarely laminar.
Orthis columns or worm rare
Chonetes(?) "
5.33. I H - 5 feet of trappe generally
argillaceous, fine grained (of mudstone)
gray-gray-olive in color with a 5 inch
thick blue glasse flag of flystone dust in
the middle and a lamed such and
blue 3 inch flag in upper quarter. Nearly
laminar. Fossils same as I.B. (not collected).
Strike N 40° W, dip 46°, N 30° E.
5.33.I. K - 9 feet thin blue paper and
grey splintery slates with 10 inches of glasse
flag of flystone dust at lower quarter.
Through the upper part are scattered little lines
of glasse flystone dust some of them
2feet long and 3 inches thick in the
middle but generally smaller. Fossils in
the shale are occasional (scattered through
every the 9 ft.).
Orbiculodea (almost bostriate form). common
Orthis rare.
Chonetes (coarse).
Camarotoechia "
Lingula "
Dalmanites rare
Cinoid joints common
5.33.I.L - 23 feet of columnar jointed
glasy flystone clasts, in places faintly
laminar, frequently massive. Color varies
from gray to blue. Specimens 1156-1157.
No fossils; but in middle is a seam with
trawl-like or furrowed markings of Bothotrophis.
Shale follows a thick mass of gabbro
which continues to the beds. The contact
with 5.33.I.L is approximately the same
as the line of strike.
