2nd day. - Stop 1. Looked for cephs. Fragment
of baculite given me by Drake. He
also mentioned a Maryland locality
with abundant Sphenodiscus with
shell material. Collected only the
Choristothyris as we have ample
of other stuff.
Stop 2. Here the 'black' Red Bank-
overlies Navesink. Coll. from
Shell bed in Navesink - big Exogyres
and Gyppeccs, Belamnitella and others.
Kept a large Exo for forums in its
fill. The fossils are packed amazingly,
one set within the other. Mithed
valves very rare. Some phosphatic
nodules in this section near the
supposed Navesink-Red Bank contact.
Lower Red Bank?
Stop 3. Harwoodtown - Triton contact.
Sphenodiscus found in darker glauconitic
Sand of T.R.B. - which resembles
the Red Bank, Critical locality
which demonstrates that spheno-bearing
beds - presumably Triton but could
be Red Banks - continue S. of
New Egypt. The Rickards-Stzlc Geologist
school holds to old belief that these
do not occur south of New Egypt.
