The intraformational conglomerates are not common
nor although around our camp. They seem in their grous
varied thicker than 4 inches and are not persistent
laterally more than a few feet, but will reappear
again on the same level a short distance. It is the
game with the lower limestone, they are lenses of
variable length. The inconsistency of the whole matter
gives me the impression of water movement over
the bottom of the sea, at times there was enough
traction developed to break up the thin grous of
limestone and other times the charming motion rolled
up the layers to a depth of four inches rolling
up some of the lime into spherical balls others
into elliptic pieces that usually lie horizontal
but may stand on end.
That these li. have not slipped down the
sea slope is certain because the limestones are not
generally disturbed. The phenomenon is a constant
reoccurrence of the same condition alternating with
undisturbed conditions.
The intraformational conglomerates are more common
in lower Beelmontown - Stonehenge.
