Sep 18 Wednesday.
Spent the morning examining the
various quarries near Odds Corners. I
examined the quarries to the right of the
dallsburg one while Beecher visited the
one about half mile to the left of the
same quarry. The entire series of quarries
here begin a little below the Homogreene
zone and continue to the top of the Coey-
mans which is underlain by the Onondaga.
In the Dallsburg quarry we again
found more crinoids and Beecher disc-
covered the crinoid bed. There can be my
doubt that a coral colony exists here. He
gave the two quarrymen full instructions
to preserve are they find and believe
they will soon send us a lot.
The section following is a composite of
the quarries near Odds Corners.
