90 Near the boundary of 5:51, 4 the shale is formed for about 10 yds. along the line of strike of some sediments. These strike N. 22° W., dp. 28°-30°. The rock is a couple of feet of banded shale weathering in banded agglomerate fashion and underly a couple of feet of monotonous shale. The top of the first contains at one place a cluster of Conchidium knighti, while a couple fads of the same occur on the same surface & a few inches higher the same form as 5:51, 5a. The fossils observed here are: Plectambonites occasional Leptena rhomboidalis common Chonetes cornutus Dalmanella (conn.) occasional Stenoscisma cf. acinus common Wilsonia wilsoni occasional Meristella (new large) " Atrypa rugostriata-marginata " Spirifer crispus small " Kionoceras myrice rare Favosites ?pyramidalis " These shales appear to overtly a base flow which occurs along the left side less than fifty feet back from the shore. If this be so, the shale probably fill the gap between the two brooks. See section 5:51, A 5:51/4 Sediments of Edmunds formation. Conchidium knighti 5:51,1 A not collected
