Binnematten Sep. 7 - 1914 Between Binnematten and Rosendale along the Galeries R.R. maybe see the entire Heldburgyan. The exposures are along very steep cliffs so it will be dead to crawl it out, but all is shown in me maybe a uninterrupted exposure but little disturbed by clearly. North of Binnematten in the first railway cut is seen the base of the Heldburgyan. It is here also that a large cement mills is located. The basal Hel- durburyan begins age unit a gone with an abundance of Stalysite calcumarius and large stems of Macracinus. These ends continue into the Matulime gone for about 12 inches. The great abundance of Stalysite occurs in about 16 inches of rock and in the gone where the crystalline change into the harder somewhat lumpy and cherty limestone. There also appear to be Shonana. The Oaten lime bed is a dense crum bed for most occasional but tank, 9 feet and then 3 feet once in several then beds. At the base there is one stone for a few inches, coarse sand, and then fine come finer until n. 12 inches all is fine. (In the present drill lay the head here) (Later I see how it on hear here)
