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.
