Oshkosh Saturday July 18-91
Finished collecting in the quarry
visited yesterday after noon.
Left on Fond du Lac at 2.37
P.M., made direct connection
here for Iron Ridge which place
I reached at 5.05 P.M. After
dinner walked to Iron Mountain
and examined the extensive dig-
inge for the Clinton iron ore. This
band of ore is at least ten feet thick.
The upper surface is uneven and
directly overlain by the Niagara
dolomite. To the south of the
digging on the road to Iron Ridge
the Hudson River shales are some-
what exposed. Picked up a few
fossils and returned to the hotel.
