Fossil verts here found
On concretion (55-5155?)
in association w sideritic debris.
The concretions here are
concentrated in a zone at the
base of 55 body that
blows immediately above
the [illegible]. They grade upward
into these [illegible] concretals
incorporate a fair amt of
sand grains. In addition
they [are] frequently
contain spongy masses of
plant matter often rolled.
These look as if they may
have originally been "WAO"
or bog iron ore - limonite-
sideritic - rather than siderite
originally. This would indicate
at least more oxygenated
through flowing waters during
the slowly phase w probable
lower acidity. Could the
Eureka Sound lowland have
been less acid & better
drained in the later.
