Lingyi (some very large ones reminding of Platystrophia
but here too many plications or ridges and sinuses, &c),
Orthis testudinaria, Q. one very flat, reminding of
[illegible] emacriata and Rafinesquina allometa.
These beds are from 70 to 95 feet beneath the
down faulted
Lower Massanutten sandstone. The latter comes in as
shaly, a white sandstone decidedly conglomeratic at
base with pebbles of 1/4t. 3/8 inch,
Just above this lower (downfaulted)
Massanutten sandstone
I have collected Triloculus concentricus, Calymene
calvicethula, Plectambonites sericeus (very common) Orthis
testudinaria (looks like ovella and the striae running out
on the large line). This horizon therefore occupies
WETTERON lower
in the faulted part while the solid one beneath the
downfaulted
lower Massanutten is certainly Lorraire,
In the Lower Crystal Gap Taonurus
are
snailings. These on the road side just east of the
stream.
In the Monalies at Iron Fountains I once found
large Favosites heldbyriae (smaller enallite) up to
8-10 inches in diameter,
