Ransome, Drtn Styanms but none were m. Finally
met Drddcle who showed me his Mississippian fauna
collected at Jerome. Says he has nearly 100 forms, many
new and that the type appears to be mainly Redwall.
What seems of the finds lead me rather to think of
late Kinderhook - Burlington. Says there are also
St Genevieve suggestions, but I doubt if any of those
are other than my varying forms. All in all the
type is Redwall and apparently = Madison.
Then Dr was shown a lot of peculiar gastropods
from near Jerome, and which Styanams was
calling Advisian because he thought he sees
gastropod percula. Then Lawson walked in
and it soon became apparent that he differed from
Styanams saying they are in an undisturbed section
underlain by Upper Devonian and overlain by the
Mississippian. I then looked more carefully at
the "perculs" and saw that they are Hiralos and
possibly of Mytilacra and Lucina. Clearly the
fauna is Upper Devonian. A tuberculate gastropod
is common that Whitecars describes from the.
