- Clinton
fossils are of the Rochester type. I think here as at Pinto a
whole series with thousands of limestone. Which makes it
58 feet. There are less of the Rochester limestone bands here
than at Pinto. In other words more shale passing more
quickly into the Clinton phase, which begins the Rochester here
here at the heavy bedded ferruginous arenaceous lying about
above
a thickness of about 6 feet followed by a ten inch band of
[only locally surviving]
Politic high frondiferae and etc. It occurs abundantly
Philodimella circularis the Clinton guilds, Amphistea
hemithelyza
occurs below here but not above the heavy bedded ferruginous

and says nearly here (a little to the east of the Lakeport end)
he sit Palaeoveselus rotuloides 20 feet below the heavy beds

lie. Created well above, which says it also occurs in N.Y. high near the
In other 8 feet below the heavy bedded arenaceous lie,
occurs the upper Clinton fossil iron ore. Thickness about 4 feet
intwined with mud shale. Locally all of it is fossil iron ore.
This bedded frondiferae lie occur still below for at
least one foot more. Then nothing but Clinton shales, to the Lake-
and Park lode at the base of the massive lime
near the base of the "Middle series" in red shale
or we have seen about first Caeapm.. This goes

beside the railroad track
Almost due west of Bald Hills may be seen
