This horizon seems to be with the dawn
of July 8.
In the afternoon collected along the shore
east of the Farrier fish houses to about
half way to the Island Grove P.O. These
fossils are mainly characterized by Rhynchonella
philippina.
July 3, Tuesday Grand Bayou
Spend part of the morning on the M.E.
shoals where called "Quay" type bits
of the Basque can be seen. Also the
conjugated beds. Fossils are exceedingly
scarce.
The conjugated beds appear as if fiddled
much had been pushed causing it to
curl and distort. The limestone bands
are nodular.
In the afternoon collected at the shore
below Grand Bayou Grove house. Here
there is still an Eotonia strong.
Late collected at Little Basque
but found very little.
The contact of the Basque limestones
and Basque sandstones are seen on the
shore east of the little stream flowing
through Little Basque.
