New Bloomfield May 7-1901
Left Lewistown at 6.18 A.M.
Changed cars at Uncannon and at
9.30 started on the Perry Co R. R. for this
place where I arrived a little after
1 o'clock.
After dinner walked out 2 miles
N. E. to Clarks Mills also known as
Bloomfield Junction on the Sherman
Gally narrow gauge road. There is a
fine exposure of much of the Lewis-
town formation and all of the Clarks
Mills formation. Collected material all
the afternoon and laid them out in piles
opposite to the beds. Tomorrow Bruce
collect more, pack it and bring in
on a wagon.
Some of the Clarks Mills beds are
a part of the Lewistown certainly are
of the beds above those holding oliver-olites and the minute Monchignies.
In other words about 90 feet of the
upper beds.
