Thursday May 30 - 1901
Bloomsburg Pa.
Started out west of Bloomsburg and
began to collect in Shive Bros quarry
at Provania 5 miles east of Blooms-
burg, just half way to Danville.
The section here according to White
and modified by me is as follows.
Fifty to S. of quarry with Stormsville
shale. Bear D. cycloptera [counts out] 100'
Stormville conglomerate
4'
This is only a conglomerate for the lower
2 to 3 miles,
which are numerous Mariaecrius ulmus, Fav-
heldutyrjiae and Pentamurus salictus. Bear
nor D. amenus. The balance in a flint band
without fossils; the sandy flint seen in so
many places joining the Stormsville shale.
Beds down to Storms [illegible] give 16'
At the very top of this series is a limestone
concreted with Lep. alba. We are thus headed
shaly lias shales.
Stromatoporra bed
10'
This bed also has smaller branching Fav., and
Stephanozoon.
