"Typical Christian fossils of this section," as stated by Crow, bear some large affinities to the fauna of D. cornu carinatus but are D. cranium. Below no 1 it is 180 feet to the next cost outcrop where the beds strike dip about 100 while at the crest out- crop they dip about 20 to 35 degrees. This exposure shows about 30 feet of massive gray to blue impure limestone with [illegible] (vertical joints). In the maculemons zone the fossils are most common in the lower half. D. maculemona fails in the upper third where Edricinus is most abundant, D. carinatus goes through. Left Cherry Ave for Washington on the 5:42 P. M. train.
