Schrobach Landing. July 10-1913 At the station back fur track recurs Pyzo- dol cylmnate. Photogaphs in greenish shale. At 1 3/4 mile onet a contact between Normansities overtrasted at Lower Cambria. Dip's as usual S.E. This bedded py shale alternating with cream limestones in feets of 1/2 to 3/4 inch. Sometimes the li, are channel by shore action in dirty lumps, sparing with lower cambrian fossils. Passing upward into pure hard limestone. Positively traceable into primitive cylmnates. Lower Cambria Greenish shale with lines of living sandstone, Dandy Co vast sand lines 12" Lower Cambria. Blue-green shale rather typical bedded of Normans- Kier. No fossils.
