In another quarry came nearly opposite the Marlin's R.R.
station, the upper Strumatopora reef above the 50 inches of
shelly limestone is here about 4 1/2 feet thick in which the stro-
as in the other quarry,
matoforma are not in such an abundance. Then follows a top
thin reddish li with gastropods for 12 inches, another
a 6 foot zone in which the reef is still developed in the upper
4 1/2 feet. Associated are small colonies of Favosites heden-
buryae.
Beginning at the top of the hill of this quarry there is ex-
poused a heavy reddish granular grey limestone and small
clay in them goes. The thickness seems to be about 5 feet. It has
many of the Coriniforms corals among which Gastrophylum is
and common.
