Richmond of Shral Point on Long Point
Porta Part.
Inside shore and extreme of Long Point.
Storly has considerable material. One large
slab (primarily loose) is glacially stratified and is crowded
with Plectambonites, Dimetra subquadrata (very common)
and Leptaena sp. These fossils alone make
the design Richmond and low down in the
Anticosti series.
Also a small spire bracer, allied to Whitfieldella antea
model ortho? or annos sinuos,
"M. tenuis grandis" according to Billings. Heads about 2 inches long
across.
Clathrospora. Very large fossils. Corallites very obscure.
Looks to me like Ulrich's Black River genus (hystricoid)
This fossil is also hystricoid, from 7-8 inches in length. Don't recognize
Orthis-like Maria. For proof of cutaneous
"Petradinum sp." Out this genus. In manner like T. 10" x 6"
across. Has small cells the size of T., but not at all of the
genus. Have a piece of the best specimen.
Pholidomella of ecteus very common.
Radisquame alternata A.
There can be no doubt of the Cincinnati (English
Head formation) age of these sandy greenish limestones on the
extreme point of Long Point. De Storleys Report pages
392-395.
