Grimstey Sep. 14. Thursday.
Spent the morning at Stone Creek, ten
miles north here. Collecting was fairly good
in the Cataract just above the Whirlpool sand-
stone. The commonest forms are Pleurambrites,
Dolonanella elegantula, Rhizophoria circularis,
and especially a species of Chrestina. This latter appears
at about ten feet above the sandstone and seems
widely separated in the dolomite bands up to the first red dolo-
mite that is ruffled with the tripleate lyggra.
The Chrestina and Orthids are associated
and make up regular dense conglomerate in these
beds from 3 to 5 miles thick.
In the afternoon Jacked the box and shifted
it and the contents one via express to New
Harren.
The Whirlpool sandstone fits into the run-cracks
of the Queenston, and is ruffled in smooth and at
times irregular ripples. The shales at times also show
truncy ripples about 3/8" from crest to crest. These truncy
ripples should be looked into to get maximum depth =
very shallow, probably less than 20 feet.
