the stone walls alongside the road saw in the
dense non crystalline limestone the following:
Dimorthes pectinella, Prasoporia the large form
near 3 inches in diameter, Cyclorhizus a
Pascerus (common)
an abundance of Monticuliferos,
and evidence of many gastropods. 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. Elevation still continued during Richmond
time a poor regolith during elevation had been
made and was ready to go to sea when the
land sank back some as the lilyman was
wetted in. The rivers now began to carry out
