limestone cnyl (pieces all angular = intrusive mud). At least 30 yards of it. One mile from here.. along the E. side again. Seven miles N.W. of Payson we saw this same serie again and in the red iron bedded sandstone separated replete with fint lime breccia, fint all are derived from the Bothriolepis. Hayden in the limatone Stigmaria first found a bed about one foot thick having an abundance of Bothriolepis whitogii animosaensis, Clithea orbicularis Schuelutella (a thick fellow), Ariculipeten, Angalina. A little farther (I think 3 miles) N.W. we saw shale lignite beds to a foot along the road. It's a shale and only impure lime rock than lode. How thick this serie is no dr not know. It is capped by a fine foot bed of white dense lie that has a lot of small hachifords that weather out silicious. The common foal is Stigmaria verrucosus (has 1 plication in series at about 3th from coal side, and is verrucose), Ps. Whitogii, Clithea reticularis, Canaristrechia, Schuelutella late peeta. Ten feet higher in another lie one to two feet thick that has lots of Pachyphyllen morrowanai (there 3 specimens), and Chalypsona. There is just a tiny 10 foot mae of Devonian. Than back in Mississippian lie. Near the base there in Chisidomella bicemii, Stigmaria not centimatus since it is sharper-flicate and has some plicationis.
