Then two miles S. of Senecville on the E.
side the road is a little cliff with many forms
of fossils, much distorted. These appear true of
the Devonian type zone. This is Locality 2.
Then 1/4 mile W. on private road leaving
main N-S. road, and W if Loc. 2 is exposed a
little cliff once a few running by trees having mud-
or shale
rolled and somewhat metamorphosed concretions. Here
cones are common, but no Eridophyllum occurs.
The most interesting fossils are drawn out brachio-
pods, a coarse flinty form - probably of a Con-
chidium,
It
has a marked ventral median septum and a
very thick axial portion. For the present the evi-
dence is for that these are Conchidea near
C. laqueata. When we chattered them to procure
these shells suggested to Clark Spinifer ar-
rectus, but they are clear fresh watered speci-
mens of the very elongate and narrow shells
above referred to as Conchidium. This is
Locality 3.
