On Tuesday afternoon came again to Dundee
To see the amphitheater at the head of the gulf and
Where the falls are. The thin bedded Clinton clearly
rests on the Medina sandstone and there is 8 feet of it
terminating by the top bearing bed of 6 foot thick (Lucifer).
The Medina very thinly bedded sandstone can be
seen for 5 1/2 feet down to the base of the falls.
The Rockport is here hard to distinguish from
the Lucifer but in everything heals up into shaly
material. The thickness is 6 1/2 feet.
Of Rockport we see here about 15 feet.
Clinton, at the base the Clinton is replete
with glauconite and is more sandy than dolos-
mitic. As usual 18 inches above the base
occur an abundance of Pterameres Margus.
But Farrisite and Accorcularia two feet
above the base of the Clinton.
