i common with a few valves of
byssidula galentus small variety.
These fossils and the physical con-
ditions indicate the horizon to be the
Merista zone of Cumberland. Did
not determine if this is the last of
the Leiviston limestone but if it is
then this formation terminates with
the Merista bed of the Cumberland
section (See May 6-1901).
A little higher on the road there
is a little quarry for road metal, the
rock seems to be a deep seated shale
crust which creathing whitish. The only
fossils seen were Leptopelia Stellula
which leads one to think of it in the
base of the Oriskany and the same
as the Hoell crust which underlies the
Qualthrop shale at the Devil's Post
Pone at Cumberland. It is probably
Aghburner Oriskany shale and my
fossils are near the base of this for-
ma-tion.
Just what the Leviston shale
is have not determined (See May 6-1901)
Continuing of the road Hoell.
