"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.
