Friday Sep. 2 -1932 Wea. FRI. AUG. 13, 1909 Ther. Mill River or the [illegible] conglomerate. Towards the west it appears to be much like the Mill River in having very long pieces of the L.C. lenticils. It also has much sandy dol and pet chertlike the Parklin slate. Farther south but in the Donaldson farm it is a dolomitic shale, with the pieces under 1/2 foot long but there occurs over four crosses each 15x10 x 10 of a very sandy dol. All the dol. cyles present a rusty red. When the Mill River splits there is a large fleck white lentic all broke up by the weather but originally it must have been ten over 100' long and 50' wide. According I assume that the L.C. surface was mostly of the shale, but in places lay the lenticils and elsewhere the green dol. Noted last week on the [illegible] road in the Parklin, therefore the transpining can picked up what ones hang and worked it up into a local cycle. All the strata dip E about 10o. I assume the transpining seen was the strip gate here, farther east a little earlier in the later Missisipi and farther north older and older Mississipi into further sandstone dol.
