seen on the eastern slope at levels only 200
feet above the stream,
coming up the mountain and not very far
from the first evidence of the Massanuttes I
collected in the Hartnessburg shale Triarthus
bachi, Trimuculus concentricus and Pleumutilus.
This indicates the typical section and I judge
the design to be less than 200 feet from the
Massanutten are possibly not more than 100
feet.
Towards the crest of Massanuttes but we
see the decidedly cross bedded white quartzite.
It is a clearly crushed, white, coarse grained quartz-
ite and gives having fossils that are not very numerous.
The evidence as to source is clear and further
- that the material has gotten from a great
distance.
In the Fort Valley south of Editz we saw
a high exposure of Hamilton standing nearly vertical.
On the bedding faces I saw in abundance Spiri-
fer mucronatus, also Trifidellus carinatus, Chor-
tes coronatus, Pleurotomaria (the common Louville
form), Aviculapecten and Phacops rara.
Second quarters at Fort Gas Roads with
the lady running the store.
