In the cliffs these P. dentata seem to be
indicated by a sharp line separated from the
lower lens (pencil) Streptelasma austicum.
Tob. These gradate to creek level and it
is in the basal beds that R. copax is
found, similar specimens around. In some
layers these come one-half the layers and
the same is true of Streptelasma. The latter
are never erect always prostrate as usually
occurs by byssus.
According to Cummins the P. dentata have
a thickness of about 30 feet. Above are 62 feet
zone of Richmond. Then the Clinton shale
4 feet and then the Clinton limestone on 10 feet
thick.
I see that R dentata is found 38 feet
from but it here now.
Returned to Cincinnati on the 3,10 P.M.
Sep. 19-1909 Sunday
