because of the twinted character of the folding but about
25 feet. Then shale of deep purple with thin zones of
1ft.2 in. sandstone, folding Monographtes clintonensis, probably 20
feet thick. Then greenish shale with occasional layers of
thin (1-2 inches) of sandstone, probably 50 to 60 feet thick up
to a heavy bedded sandstone about 28 to 30 inch
thick. Above the thick sandstone once greenish shale
alternating once and once with thin limestone, first with
a thickness of one inch, deeper up to 2 1/2 inches and finally
then is an orbita with some sedimentary pebbles;
about 6-7 inches thick. One or two more orbits higher
up. All of these orbits belong to the Dolorina as none
of the fossils below the orbits occur above it. The faunal
change is not easily seen in the Ostracoda as Neophrichis
Lata does not go above.
Therefore most of my contourite beds all from 6a to
6d both inclusive and some of 6E pass into Dolomina. These
beds are
marked by Alrodania
and Xlrodanilla
towards the top appear the layers Rhynchospira, five
striate Rhynchonella and a large Spirifer like D. par
lamellana but with more flections.
My 6E beds are terminated by 7 feet of dear to add
fine grained
sandstone on the upper surface of which appear large
Leperditia. This zone should be regarded as the base of the
Cenoman series or the Dullis Creek.
