bedded oolitic sandstone that are put in thickness in thin sheets. This is the matrix in which the li. crg1. lies. The li. crg1. appears to have come into the water in just masses making it lime and filling all the interstices with lime or lime and sand. The irregularities between the limestone clumps are filled in with oolitic coarse sand or even a coarse quartz pebble conglomerate. Some of the limestone pebbles have been Cambrian fossil. At the Craig Raymond had the description of Hyolithellus onicarus and Lingulella caelata. All of this conglomerate has been flattened and the cracks filled with vein calcite. This conglomerate could not here have been trans- ported far, probably less or five less than a mile. It is probably the material of sharp hills or tancies thrown up just before Dilleys Time and between them lay the Dilly troughs of rapid sedimentation.
