137 August 11-1918 Table Head section that seen at several places in the Pahranagat area. The base of the Chazy has several alternating zones of lilly and even bedded lil, and then the peak crown of the formation is of the dark-blue krifty (lacelike or breathing into small sharp meander) characters. Fossils there are many but excellent for that are good for any purpose. At 3 1/2 miles north of the south end of Table Head Dinosaur Park an erratic of Cns Head crgl, at least 8 feet long lying on the line, This man brought here by the ice from some inland exposure, or that the Cns Head is meant to the carry of this place. The size is 6 x 10 x 5-feet. The section determined today according to Dinosaur Park's Upper Beddiment: 50' Dark fluit-pay dome dolomite, breathing licks pay. Juttes from 1 or 2 inches to 4 to 6 inches thick with occasional ones of 10". These beds are moderately fossiliferous. Pterygoturus lamerei, Pilcreus (see specimen), Ceratopus megops, and many others deforested parts which appear in the Helicostoma. 10 Heavy dense beds of fluit-pay dolomite, the surfaces of the layers with many Crustacea megops, Asaune Helicostoma, also containing P. lamerei, and Pilcreus. Many specimens of Eu- cosma are seen. See the few specimens collected. 45' Dense manoir dol. much like that just below except that it has many small ferde like encrustations and no fossils. There is some undulation to these beds but the average dip in about a half mile is 10 N., 70 W.
