"Two fat things, just below it are ours" Accordingly we made out about 60 fat of Oredina of which not more than 27 fat can be referred to the Catarack. One cannot rely on the succession of the beds. The Oredina here is a series of shallow water deposits in once a less strong currents. It is in the clean white sandstone that we see the stranded Lingulas on a track marked surface. Even so these beds have shale pebbles. The red sandstones are full of red shale pebbles and here very near and then appear beds 2 to 4 inches thick made up of roundish shale pebbles and small fragments of Lingula. At least one bed near the top of the Whitteme quarry there is a ferropinnid beds that in due appearance is like the rim red beds of the Clinton.
