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.
