is nothing more than Highgate Carboniferous, certain it is
that the shale on each side of the Conglomerate is alike
to those all of Dorset's fossils come from above the Conglomerate.
Either the Conglomerate is folded into the slates or the conglomerate
is one of the Dorsetian; or at once if the Dorsetian places, the
shale to the east are not Serpion in the sense that
they any Bunter formation age. He may have a shale here
but not the Drillington and Keythorpe.
The succession from St Albans Bay to Alders Poston
must be repeated from the Magpie Conglomerate to the west,
that where we did not see the Millton.
There is a question in Raymond's mind as to whether
we have seen any Millton. It maybe that the Cretaceous
has dolomite goes in it. Certain it was so at
Partners Ledge before we came upon the thick mass
of dolomite, correlating with the Millton.
Then drove to the Cretaceous locality about 3/4 mile
N.E. of Dorset Junction. Here there is a big quarry for
the flood shale. Dr. Raymond got a fine bit since
Morner's we saw of those shales 20 to 30 feet. They
so into a stiff dolomite in the face of which occurs
Olivoids. Then comes in a mass of dolomite
200 to 300 feet thick that must be the Millton.
Then a fault repeating the section with
then more shale followed by more dolomite,
