On the very large Ormsbury quarry on the upper
most layers the common fossil is the little button like
Receptaculites = Cyclotomus
common in Tennessee, Frith
are abundant but can not be counted out of the
limestone. These recognized are Theftosoma arai-
culum, Raphistoma lenticulare.
In the light blue or grey limestone (breathing
a milky white) saw on fossils. It is these conchi-
dally fracturing light blue limestone in heavy beds
that is quarried here on an extensive scale for
lime burning. They end abruptly and then follows
thinner irregular bedded and less pure limestones.
Are all these upper beds (judging between 100 to 200
foot thick) to be regarded as Trenton and the light
blue beds below the Homer River series? There
is a very decided change in the limestone de-
sposits at this horizon. The upper remains of our
north while the lower brings to mind the
Kirk Bridge region of Kentucky. In the lower li.
