The following is a rough draft of the succession
of the rocks without relation to thickness. The section
diagnostic
is continuous for at least 1/2 miles. The dip varies
between 40 and 70 degrees and less than one half
of the beds are about half across the strike while the
further half is almost transverse to the strike. The
thickness therefore peaks. Bying at the base
the final succession is as follows : (From Little
Caspedia to Black Rock.)
A series of thin bedded finely limestone and
shales with thick landinia and corals.
Probably 100 two feet thick. Fossils Lot 1.
A blue shale series weathering to brick red, has
a few broods. Probably less than 100 feet.
Fossils Lot 2,
A lime shale weathering black and red with some
