to same dimensions as localiz'd. It's also a mg.ls.
man and as it is long weathered shows almost no joints. It is
much fractured by test tube movements. We now see no rounded
sand grains or any sandy matrix - all in mg.l.s. If one notices,
one either side and once particular to the east are junctions
of various kinds of holds, small and large and all often
long immersed in the green oh. To me it looks like a man
of clay that has been rolled and pushed and squeezed about
by the folding and thrusting movements.
Then looked up the clay along the distal mine R.R. One
comes at once below the rail up the lines into Earl Lewis,
it is a flat pottle clay with the taste of the rounded quartz ss.,
and followed on by another angle of sandstone pieces in the same
limit of quartz sand. Have a piece of it. This angle may
be regarded as an introfomational angle, and may have no
foreign rocks at all.
Further east along the R.R. is a much thicker clay
with flat pottles and the same rounded sand grains. Have
a piece. It also appears to be an introfomational clay.
A little further east is the famous Tetrapaptus -

good collection which can be done easily with tools. Only
along some striking slabs.
