"Nothing particularly striking. Hoped the section would go up into the Helikian but this is apparently out of the question. Paddled to the hotel and finally had to get out and crawl through the eel grass and muck. Back to the hotel at 7 P.M. New Richmond Aug 30 Wednesday. Had a buggy this morning and drove at once to Red Cope. Found the Romerstown hardy shale to pass beneath into the character- istic conglomerate. The lower beds had jumbles of rocks that seem not familiar order. Then a conglomerate of Silurian material largely made up of corals as Stromatopora, Helispora [have a large sample], Syringospora; with many pieces of red crinoidal limestone. The next lower bed was almost entirely made up of the Black Cope Dolomite. These Devonian conglomerates but against the dolerite with the filling.
