Sep. 7 Collected in the morning in the
Oquossan and at afternoon in
the Calgon formation.
The Oquossan formation is
well exposed along the township
line road north of
the farm of David Fleming
and Anderson the sandstone is
abundantly fossiliferous and pure it
is not more than six feet thick.
A short distance to the east
however the formation is quite
fossiliferous and the rock more
friable. It overlies the Dalhna
group in which I saw no fossils.
In some places the Dalhna is sym-
bolically bedded and in other places is
often clodded. The contact between
the Dalhna and Oquossan is well
shown and while there is no
marked unconformity there appears
to be a shift or since the lower
surface of the Oquossan is uneven
