"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.
