"previous Salina sea.
The Latman series here west of Lorus Leap sand
mill is very much like that at Pinto and consists of mud
and thin limestone now eroded in places interspersed with the
lens of arg. li., flour li., rarely an oolite as once nearly still
a sandstone zone.
In the lower portion about the equivalent of the Cement
beds there is more sandstone given than at Pinto and rather
here suggests Cement beds. Here are the two outcrops, Rhyne = a
Rhyne to medium
Beltor the above are still other beds of the Salinian that
had referred to the Niogaran. These beds do not have
large Lepidolithia and one zone of sandstone is very thick
about 25 feet thick known as the Keeper member. In it is
a dark shale and the reddish sandstone having Strophomenella.
The Cement series here begins with the red sandstones
of prominent developments and last of Tolonaway. In
the Cement beds the large Lepidolithia appears and
an abundance of ostracodes.
The crinoid list this year's east of the Hancock
sand mill occurs in the Creynans dam at least 50
feet from top.
Coming over Capon mountain we again found the
Cystic beds. Saw many plates and stems of Lepidocrinus
manulius
