Sandstone 2). Where the shelter-shelter plants are accumu-
lated one finds many small clay-crin stems growing and gives
the appearance of a conglomerate. Here also many cross beds
oral streaks up to one inch thick. This is true for all of the
older sandstones seen going south.
Thin bedded shaly ms,
Piffled and some clevelds
See Plate 50 full thin / Predominating green m's, and some reddish b.,
and more and more forms of clay in nature a modern
implication regarding conglomerates. They are interlaminated
conglomerates.
(= transition bed into Millstone grit)
Finally red grms appear between the green sandstones and
written a few hundred feet we are again in red-brown-red shales.
(= division 8)
In one of the green sandstones in the transition zone one sees
days and fine Stymania crts across 20 ft. of surfaces.
The transition appears to be gradual from the Millstone grit
into the red beds of division 8, as a later interpretation.
The dip becomes greater
from the same angle southward and at Handbridge
they are nearly vertical but there is still a dip to the
northward.
In the top of the red beds one sees here the same
if the transition zone
circular concretions as seen yesterday 3 1/2 miles south
of Rochester. This zone of shale is 50 to 30 ft thick
and thereafter red more on conglomeratic sandstones
interbedded with thin grms of red shales. There are at
least 300 to 400 ft. of these before the section vanishes
in low cliffs where the rocks are concealed. A warp?
-is the plant root.
red shale
is south of this point about 1/2 mile. The shapes are
