"[illegible] limestone there is a series of very sandy shale of a yellowish color and in thickness about 15-16 feet. We estimated three beds to be about 30 feet thick in going along the road. The observed fossils were Or teatudimaria Q.(P.) crossea. After supper in Stewartsville walked to the quarry in the Salma limestone. Gastropods quite abundant such as Mucurea major, Murchisonia major Fusispira ventricosa and Pleurotaenulita Oweni. Stewartville Plain August 14-91 Friday. Finished the quarry seen last evening. Saw good Endoceras five feet in length but rather poorly preserved. Also from a fair specimen.
