August 18, 1953 Saturday Brandon, IT. Collected in the metamorphosed limestone just southwest of Brandon. Raymond pointed out to me the section of a large Macilnea about four inches across that he feels is the same as a common one at Tiendroga, N.Y. He also showed me a large cephalopod, Protogy Othricuas n Camerones. At the oral end it was 1/2 inch wide and at the large end 2 1/2 inches. In the space of six inches it had about 8 septa each about 1/4 to 3/8 inch apart. Bradyodontum lay. Saw no other cle. These two points with those just before show this material to be Beeldmantown. Then drove to locality (7) to see the laminated limestone. These limestones reminded Raymond of the "ribbon limestones" of Raceland and Leeles Beeldmantown. The shell fauna may well be the Phillipsburg fauna in the lower carbonate the Beeldmantown.
