and as I did not see marked erosional uncom-
formity, nor a marked change in lithology concluded
that there is no break in this fault of durmin &.
All of the sandstones in & show cross-bedding
and channeling into the shales below them but in
the limestone conglomerates especially that are
cross bedded and channeled under surfaces.
It is probable that the li. cong. are made of
duridon material of the Cerm limestone lining. I saw
however no fossils, nor any dolomite like that of
Millers quarry or of Onaximus Point. Then too hardly
any red shale are seen in these li. cong. If this
evidence is correct I do not see how any of the
faults & can be regarded as of duridon age. Then
for the presence of muddy payments some of which
look like payments of Calamites give me a strong
impression that all of 8 and certainly the upper
570 feet are of Pennsylvanian time. No one reports
duridon limestone nor coal gypsum that is in
place in these beds of 8, under these circumstances
it seems to me that age y & had better be
regarded as if Pennsylvanian age.
Since 7 of Logan is 650 feet thick and of
it 148 feet are conglomerates decidedly arkosic
and as a rule of sharply angular material.
