are the thin laminated limestone layers
having the ostracods. Above these are
are other thin beds slightly nodular
abounding in Lepaditris and rarely a
Rhynchonella with lamellae just the one
for Lyson & Va. In the higher beds
the Lepaditris are less common with
Spirifer vanuxemi quite abundant and
an occasional Rhynchonella formosa
Rhynchospira and possibly a rare
Meristella (see page 26)
Returned to Lewiston on the 11.08
train arriving at 11.45.
In the afternoon started in at
the little quarry back and at the west
end of Lewiston. This quarry is in
the heavy bedded limestone near the
top of the Lewiston formation, the
Spiriferula saleata indeed some occurs
here. Going to the top of the quarry the
surface is covered with limestone frag-
ments on some which I saw Dentaculites
gracanthus. I estimate this covered area
to be at least 50 fut. About here one
also sees chunks of flint without ribs
