Priere du Loup, July 15-1913.
Spend an hour looking at the thick series of
shales probably are of liller and Lerois time. The
faster mass is true referred to the liller and here
consists of the rich red shales in thin groups alternating
with green shales. Then too there are thin beds of an
inch or 2s several inches of sandstone, nearly an
arenaceous limestone with marine fossils (Burling got an
Osterhita as a small Lingulella more of which he
could determine with halerto species), and in the
railway cut we saw several thin grns (3 to 6 inches)
of limestone conglomerate. Here the pebbles are small
nearly exceeding a half inch. These conglomerates seem
in lenses and are often offset by small faults.
No 4 is a quartzite, somewhat chloritic and
crass in character.
No 3 is a Hack shale and at about the
center has Caryocaris. There one.
No 2 - is a thick series of red and green shales
that in the upper third is strongly interbedded with
thin beds (2 to 4 inches) of sandstone.
