"places and especially along the banks of
small runs coming down the hills are burying
the Cora [illegible] . Here the Armorake is once
shown but not a single fossil. Deeper in
the hills and the Rockwood shows which is
also largely a chert associated with quartzite.
Our a few unrecognizable fossils.
Just beyond the current bridge crossing
the branch,
the base of the Chattanooga is well shown.
This here seems to be an arenaceous limestone
chiefly weathering into yellowish spotted beds
with some chert. These beds readily cleave free
and are then soft rotten pieces. These
are mostly 1/2 or 8 feet thick and have many
minute fossils mostly comminuted. Ostracoda
are abundant. Also picked up there very few
crabs and saw a Spirifin which I could not
determine. I have no doubt that this zone
is Hamilton and is the horizon from which
Craven Centre collected the Hamilton.
