April 29-1913. Tuesday. Martinsburg
Started out in the large limestone gorges to
the east of town.
The contact between the light blue (or rather white)
Mass River and the Chambersburg limestone is very sharp.
The former is heavy bedded enormously fracturing while
the latter is dark blue and nodular. About 25 feet
above here is a good zone for Cyclocrinus (globular
and pyriform in shape), Streptelasma corniculum,
and Echinolampas, Orthonoma and other Montien-
lipridae. Also Orthus tricensaria and ? Christiania.
Ive called Cryptogron in Balmantown near
North Mountain Station. About 3/4 mile east of North Mt.
jelly sand (sometimes clay)

kinds
light yellow mud,
In this cut there are many Cryptogron to be seen
and while at first draws distorted to beyond the phenomena
as inorganic still I finally concluded that Cryptogron must
be organic and perhaps algae. In places the material
is not in hemispheric masses but in sheets that are
plain or flat or hemmoroly (=???).
