A far hundred feet over of Dover may
be seen intraformational conglomerates and
this time in the Trenton about 35 foot below
the Etica. Its within more or less than
a churning of the sea bottom.
These occur at two levels. There are
two in this part of the Trenton beside the
marine layer or bredden bed, of the Etica.
The "bredden bed" shows once in the first
quarry to the east of the Dover station. Here photo'd
of. It lies in the center of the picture and is
away at one specially where places the whole
bed is channeled. The thickness varies from me for
to about 30 inches. The picture takes in the thicker
part.
This same layer is again in the next western
quarry. But the Etica shows no more channel
bottoms.
The chief fossils of the Trenton are the Byggers,
of bivalves one sees my Odmanella testudinaria
Pleurotambula sericea, Refinosguira alternata
as Jysopria clemonia, Maenus pagents
are everywhere and rare one of Calymene. Clino-
donta also are common.
