Jacquet Rivin July 16-1924 (continued). a large Diaphorostoma, Eatonio singularis, Oristella lata, Orthrenus with septa far apart, one firelace, several scotiripods, Steptilaasma, small Furrosits and other things. These prove the beds to be deep Ordovician or even Cambrian time. Then collected on either side of the Belle dune Rivin at the trumpile near sea shore. Here Steptilasma and small Furroisits are common, and also a small Rhiz'dmella and other look like Pennacaria stuaroti but very small. Also saw a Lep. rhombor dali. These are on the west side of rivin. On the east side of rivin these same things occur but here also Leptrocelia flabellita, and L. planocum crepa. The strata are brownish-grey fine grained muddy sand-stones with some grey thin ls from 1 to 6 inches thick. All in all to age in lower Ordovician, and maybe higher than any part of Stuart Cove at Dalkousie, N.B. Kindle has been wanting to make these strata Silurian but I did not see a single Silurian species, of the small Steptilasma and Furrosits do support Silurian, but just such things occur in the Heldutropia and Ordovician.
