Tues. Feb. 2, 1909
The brinson orthite is much rippled, the
clast str to miles apart. In the hollows of these
ripples m a dense li occurs forre livralus
in great abundance.
Over the li. comes about 2 futy shale,
and then 10 futy corn redded, fairly clean
green sandstone.
Then follows a long series of reddish shales
and sandstone, the latter all much rippled.
Now more coral payments are present, but
no acropriate plants. No Cnemidites were seen.
About 100 fut above the layers is a thin zone
of orthite that has onceee livralus and a
Patellatium. The livralus look most like
Ochigodes, but none are more than Trivial ly.
All of the brinson other than the marine
find heavy beds are of desert deposits, though
one sees here no system. Beds are present
in thick beds to the south along the Railway.
The whole is a ruin of brick red clays and
sandstone, much rippled, though actual benn-
cracking was not seen. Caliche joints are
not dense.
