Wea. MON. JAN. 11, 1909 Ther. Aurandria gne. As I got to the top of the stairs and of a stair that to the street onto the street car, I landed on a fine red and green shale, and then the regulation glee shale of the Levi's. But beyond we drop all far into the continuity of red shale of the valley. Then walked north along the street car street into Lyons-- and then order down a road across the limestone conglomerate of Big in Ohio. Saw again the boulder mill cephalopods, and gastropods, of the case of this li. emyl. The li. boulders are layup, some are well rounded, but in the main they are slops of thin redded li with the kids well rounded! There are boulders of gitty green shale and of other shales. These pieces we apt to be twice as large as the li. Between some of the li, bedding mud was laid down apart with the general condition that the li. emyl. were laid down in a mud sea. A two different places I saw gitty green shale boulders one for across in the regulation intra- formational conglomerates. Evidently the boulder making is new at hand even in these intraformational epochs.
