"The Eurypteri occur finally about the mid-
thickness of the Sharon sand and to my great
surprise we here came upon a feet slot 20 x
20 for the under side of which was completely
crusted with Arthropycus harlani. This therefor
shows that the Sharon sand is Medina and
that Clarke and Reedemans Eurypteri are
also of Medina age. These finds an accident
within 2 feet from another, Garrell on a former
trip measured the thickness for the Hudson-
shales of to Eurypteri gone.
It's fully 300 feet mine to the top of the
quarry and going along the track towards
Port Jours we came upon more Arthropycus
that appear to be 500 feet higher. In other
words Arthropycus ranges through at least
500 feet. These upper beds have more sandy
green shales between the sandstone than in the
quarry. Then for there is more iron (weather)
and iron rust) in these beds so that the time
waste in the Clinton.
