"gray" run the hills to the Clinton road gives a thickness
of about 320 feet.
Magnetic declination at Johnson's Hill, has changed since last year from the Clayton quadrangle. See for horizon.
Left Regan at 12, 15 P.M. for
Pinto a Petro-mae.
The Clinton hills are to the east of
the Cement mill, considerably lower.
Began in Clinton just north of abandoned cement
mill. At the base here saw Begrichia lata, Chorotis
cornuta, Amphisthen hemispherica.
25 feet higher the Chorotis is larger but is
initially the same species.
Ten feet higher Paralogopterus clintonensis, about
here a fine lined Phychromella, Begrichia lata and
Ceranium.
The same fossils go up to the two foot sandstone above
which shortly comes in the thin bedded limestone between the
limestone. Which says a new fauna here and probably
Orchistom Amphisthen hemispherica. Begrichia lata? have
only five. Have a collection of these Prolecanthus fossils from near
small
the hill, this time.
Beginning again at the base of the Clinton over by the
Cement Mill one can trace the loose slabs are divided into
hard sandy or clay layers of a very light purple color lying
the fossil stratum above. Which was hard to estimate
