"In the 'Deronic' = Pennsylvanian series at once
four so far below the contact one sees an abundance of birolas
and in about 200 ft from contact the Estheria are very
common. Hyde got one Leacia lidgei 70ft below the
contact.
In places
The "Deronic" is a series of shales, predominating green
to argillaceous shales with thin bands of sandstones and in
places with red shales. All are even crested and rippled
extremely abundantly
Every where the omne birolas abound, even in the even-
crested layers. Evidently the deposits are of tidal estuary
with the action of tides permanently over the area but as
a rule exposed between tides or at least at time of very
lowers tides. When the birolas are thicker then the
Estheria are absent.
In other places red sandy micaceous shales predominate
dirty
followed by sandstones, an occasional clear crushed quartz
sandstone and then some silty shales filled with the
birolas.
At the eastern end of the section before arriving at
the day covered area one sees dark green (slate) shales mud-
cerudary
ded with gypsum. At least 2 and probably 3 such places
delay fault lines
occur. These are crust gypses, and it is probable that some
of the Windsor beds are thrust of orist faults of the bedded
gypsum, but no recognizable Windsor beds encountered.
