Norton, N.Y. April 30-1910
Frankful and I started away in the day
at 7 A.M. The morning is dark and damp from
last nights rain. walked north to Glenerie
and on the way first came across the Onndaga:
Lamy A. reticularis, L. rhomboidalis, Pentamerella
crata, one a once small cut crabs, Dalmanites
the descendant of D. plumopterus.
At Glenerie between the lower falls of the
Eorpus and the ridge on the left side of the river
maybe seen the Glenerie formation to good
advantage. In the upper 15 feet the fossils occur
in great abundance. It's a Hurst avencarius lime-
stone, in beds from 6 to 12 inches in which the fauna
is essentially one of brachiopods and Diaphanostera.
Hardly a single BrachioPod has lost valves and
the large specimens are star umbonal areas. All
have been crusted together in a shallower sea.
Rarely one sees a large omm of a Pecti californoid.
The commonest fossils are Spirifer intermedius (
smaller than Cumberland specimens), Leptocrania
Platellita (very large), Spirifer aureosus, Beachia
Lunana. One also sees Russellaria cricida
