There is probaly 16 fut one of Magovillian in
which the Rafinoquinus abounds as before, but there
no P. long. The Massoville formed terminate with the
from [illegible] R. jendersons,
then about 10 fut I shore with less abundant
limestone bands, thus state to the Richmondian. There
is certain of no physical break here though the water
Magovillian
deeper very shallow during later, and it would appear
that the water is again becoming deeper with the
today
Richmondian fauna appearing. In these ten fut saw no
direct evidence of Richmondian forms that I knew. The
byzora only shows it. At the last visit got the Rich.
beds near.
These last 37 fut of Magovillian seem to show
a shallowing of the water for most of the byzora and
other forms cranick and the Rafinoquina take poss-
ession of the whole sea way. Then finally the Platystrophic
come in and almost kill off the Rafinoquina. Many are
of the former are half shells and many of these are mud

growth, entroos down. With the arrival of Richmond time
gradually
the sea deepens and a new fauna arrives. There is
no break in sedimentation.
