"Huell shale, lime like, from 1/4 to 6 wide,
though the latter thinner in the upper strata. Looked
for fossils but saw none. In one place saw
sea-weeds reminding some of Arthrophyces but not
enough to make certain. All of this is seen in the
first cut giving a thickness of about 125 feet.
In beddng
and certainly on large scale in sometimes also seen,
It is about 530 feet above the base where the
first Arthrophyces and the great slot (20x20 feet) comes
in. It is due also where the greatest amount of Huell
slate occurs and the place where Ruedemann got the
Eurypterus fauna. In fact his fauna is in part on the slot with
the pyrite.
At 750 feet saw another small slot that in all
probability also has Arthrophyces.
The Sharon point quartzite conglomerate is the same
throughout, then bedded (4 to 18") with slight shale parting.
The fossils are always the same and still arrange % of muds.
Everywhere the cross-bedded sculbtins have pieces of the
green slate embedded along that see crows. Often
holes of the mud are embedded it as intraformational
defects.
