At Cataract, Dundas, Hamilton and Story
Creek the upper horizon in the midst of the rd.
bygro beds are characterised by small bivalves.
The latter are also present at the same level at
Niagara Falls so that they range geographically all
the way from N. F to at least Cataract. Farther
northwest more and limestone is developed and the
bivalves drop out.
An Althaea planocoxa holds the horizon
gjust above the sandstone and has a range of
not more than 15 feet. At times they look much
like Ctypra reticulata and this is particularly
true at Story Creek.
Cornulites is especially common at Story
Creek. Plectambonites is common only at Story
Creek and Hamilton, and not or at the former
place.
Some day someone will get a large crinoid.
The stems look almost like those of Mariacrinus.
There are also other species of crinoids.
