"Huge Drilled Cliffs" in the Tordel bed. The tordel lie in a anticlinal cement of the same general color as the Oerrman ss and are more indurated by the same kind of ss. I am much better on less films most in view in northern. In places the tordel bed has short beds of ss with our tordels = filled in places between the tordels. The mistake was first made by Ellis in saying that he first came to see it (I think) long ago from the Germanian folded bed, the Bonarantine to the east appears to lie conformably up on the Germanian and to have the same amount and kind of deformation. The contact between the two formations now main surface with irregularities for far feet included. Large slabs of the Oer. lie in reverse of the Bonarantine. According me sees here no unconformable contact and the Bonarantine is more folded here than in usual further east. To the west of the way the B. under by the Germanian and makes a high critical red cliff, the top of the one being about 400 to 500 above sea level. Maybe me half of this hill in Oer. The rest Bonarantine. The Oer. directly beneath the B. as seen mostly on the west face of the outside that is or colored, inside all is green. There is no transition here from the Oer. to the B., many irregular in places are lines of cryl in the B., but none are prominent and than a few rounded jut.
