"thrown into irregular masses and in places into
round balls. Once the irregularities follows a dark
bituminous sandy shale filling the depressions and
the regular bedded, laminated in appearance,
[illegible]
sandstone. There can be no doubt
that the section is here broken, and that the
irregular layers go with the Lockport.
Have a piece of the basal sandstone above the
irregular layer.
The sand rapidly becomes less and the beds
become a fine grained crystalline dense
dolomite. All of this in fine fab. These
basal beds have no fossils of any
kind.
The same thing of contact between the
Rochester and Lockport is there seen
at Rochester, Niagara Falls and Swope-
by. The lack of evidence for a break.
As usual the most eastern contacts introduce
sand, not seen even at Niagara Falls
and certainly but a few grains at Swope."
