have gone over the Deluvian hill to the crest
of the Basperan valley.
The present general topography was established
since the Triassic for these deposits lies in
the vallies but formerly did not outtop the
Basperane ridge. It is the general belief that
there is no Triassic in the lower part of
this valley. However Heyerall states that
in oral digging Triassic was encountered in
the upper Basperan valley. It is this Triassic
deposit that has preserved the topography of
the Permian times.
At White Rock in the upper Basperan
valley we came upon orthirich quartzites and
limer slates. The dip of either is hard to
make out. Everywhere where we saw the
slates ochistrity is developed, in other words
it is axial ochistrity. Finally we found the
locality for Dictymena websteri at Rock Hill
