Ransome, Drtn Stiganns but none were in. Finally met Doddele who showed me his Mississippian fauna collected at Jerome. Says he has nearly 100 forms, mostly new and that the town appears to be mainly Redwall. What seems of the finds lead me rather to think of late Kinderhook - Burlington. Says there are also St Genevieve suggestions, but I doubt if any of these are other than my naming forms. All in all the town is Redwall and apparently = Madison. Then Dr was shown a very peculiar gastropod form near Jerome, and which Stiganns was calling Adovician because he thought he sees gastropod fercula. Then Lawson walked in and it soon became apparent that he differed from Stiganns saying they are in an undisturbed section underlain by Upper Devonian and overlain by the Mississippian. I then looked more carefully at the "fercula" and saw that they are hiralves and probably of Mytilacea and Lucina. Clear the fauna is Upper Devonian. A tuberculate gastropod is common that Whiteaves describes from the.
