Tuesday Sep. 11-1934 Oblution channels of the Dailors Ledge ls. The best example of basal drl. is seen E./ St. Armand opposite the shooting Monument, at one and a half miles. Here can be seen a length of 15 feet filling obltion with sand, gravelly a collar. The section is as follows: Thick red sandy drl 30" Marine gellus creamy drl. 30". 11' dry Dailor Ledge ls. Nailor Ledge ls. This place is Olliviers famous proof of the sort of the sea cave filled with Dailor Ledge ls. (3) Above the basal drl, in Dailor this Ledge Hills seems the greatest abund- ance of fossils in the Phillipstown series. While- tu isn't common, Hormostoma common in places, along with Spirithia (I have a lot of them) and Trilobite fragments. Or many spotted plates. No fossils occur hidden in the Ledge shells. (4) The older Hunting's Creek drl. ended in a land interval, and the irregular origin contact has wiggles at 2'-to-4' deep.
