This design = dimictic (1975) is undoubted in the Middle Trenton. There- fore all of the Oratunian must occupy the horizon of the Utica and Frankford. The same Massanutten equals the Lorraine. The low lands, then solution, and the debr sition of great limestones came to an end towards the close of the Trenton. Elevation set in at first (can I anticipate or confirm my next elevation?) gently changing the chemical deposits to one of detrital deposits a poor sea of quick deposition in fine sandy deposits blackened with the destroyed organic life of these deposits, and the cause for or little deposition of the life of this sea. [illegible] The elevation continued and towards the close (= from Massanutten) of the Lorraine the sea had vanished from these parts.
