Jacquet River, July 17-1929 (Continued)
We then entered inland to Jack River and on its land Copin and Alcock collected some large cup corals with very large twisted centers, always branching favorites Pentamerella and L. chmaitidali. This appears to me true to his Permian sea and maybe of Ordovician time. These fossils came in a sandy shale at least 10' thick. Be the small lot collected.
We next visited an outcrop on the road side about 3/4 mile south of the Barclay House and it turned out to be regulatini New Zealand fauna. Here we collected L. chmaitidali, Leptostrophia pyflana, L. teatei, Spirifer belamellus, Cretospina disparilis, Dalmanites, Rhacops, several tirabres, Philodips, Camartozchia Rhipidomella flata
These beds must come in near the Tuncom coal, and get then maybe hundreds of feet I struck between the two horizons. In any event is in the oldest frondiferos Permian so far seen.
It is a very hot day and we stopped working at 4 P.M.
