"The bottom surface of the Coegmans at the D.B.B. section is decidedly submerged. Also of the immediately adjacent lot of the Leguan.
But some very large Leferditia in the thin redder Leguan near the base of the D.B.B. section, at about the Cancellinomas bed,
The Oriskany down to the Hockel shist lower Oriskany
is again being quarried for road metal. Hence could see buffalo fossils today.
Orryganville, Md.
In the Pittsburg head of the Western Maryland in a fine cut of the deltutopians. It begins in the Leguan and shows one-half of it. Then the Coegmans of about 8 feet. Followed by the New Portland limestone and shale clear with a thickness of 37 feet.
S. macerflorum goes up to the shale zone.
The New Scotland shale zone begins here with hard
Huell or nodules as at 2105 Bridge. There is no transition of its young hard but is distinct a shale.
The thickness in between 33 and 35 feet. Or its unmeasured forms.
Then the Hockel shist of the Lower Oriskany shist
at once at the base
and northern flakible in a 2 nod band
followed by some shale little thicklets for one foot more,
and then the regular Hockel shist continues upward.
