August 12, 1923. Sunday.
St. Alans, St.
Spent the morning looking for fossils on the
Corbin Ledge, five miles n.e. of St. Alans. We
saw a few cephalopods and quite a lot of Milton
fragmentary trilobites. Left one, Ampeya like, that
Raymond says is one of Billings Levi emyl. Specim.
and the second specimen thrown.
The Corbin ledge le. emyl. has an interesting
slope gone at the north end about 4-5 feet thick. There
in the Corbin conglomerate;
there is little sand here and the limestone are almost
degreezled and some what schistose. There are considerable
high pots thought led hi, pieces,
some sandy dolomite of
the Mallett, and Schellburne. The whole standard shift
angle, about 60 to 70 degrees,
clegroupes,
dipping east.
In the afternoon we went to the Mazze Ledge about
two miles north of St. Alans. There there is part clear
of the Devonian angle,
Schellburne,
that attains what we felt thin.
One third of hi, is fully 20 feet high. Here there is around 1/
of the Schellburne on the,
some Mallett.
The valley to the east is '1/2 mile wide, and the Mallett
makes the western ridge. There is an Ovidton; As known
Highgate level rocks there must be buried in low action.
The Sky foot blue slate and the Calchester.
