start [3062]
Sep.17-1909. Friday.
Left at 8.30 for Richmond.
Arrived at Richmond at 10.20, At 10.35 started
on for for Elkhorn Falls, 4 miles to the south-east
Got there a little before noon.
The bridge over the Creek crosses the Clinton
and the falls are less than 7 or 8 feet down stream.
Took several pictures and of the Clinton contact.
The Richmond (Cummings bed 16 f 1.41 A.)
[printed, sandy]
is very even bedded and on other refaces the
Crinoidal Clinton limestone with pockets of
fossil at 2 to 3 feet above the base. The clay
because the clinks has clay down
bed between is very thin here. The contact is
plainly seen because of the very different
lithology on the fauna. See Cummings report
p.657. This afternoon saw slipped down Clinton.
1/2 mile down the creek from the mill
at Elkhorn Falls maybe seen the Clinton-Rick-
mond contact. Drawn as drawn in the opposite side
and of the place show 3 crinoids.
The top of the Richmond is very even bedded
of a greenish calcareous thin bedded material
that in the weather will completely break down.
Has many byzra, Hebutella sinuata,
