WED. APRIL 7, 1909
North of Burlington VT. July 17-1932
Sunday.
Began collecting at Whisks Loc. 3 four and
a half miles N. and Bown began to see what
looked like Trilobites. Then Langrell called
my attention up high on the hill where he had a layer
of blue sandy dol astate with Lingulepis acumi
nata like. Saw nothing else. The strata are thick
bedded Hurst - gray dol, and when we Lingulelles
occurred in my Sandy dol. The strata dip S.W. 28°,
with the strike N. 30 W.
Farther up on the top of
the little hills to same looking dol. Dip slightly
cast. Did not see the contact when the dip changes.
It was happening within 15 feet and is either a sharp
fuckle or a fault. Farther east on the continuation,
duffy strata than one thick group of a white quartzite,
and breccia with blocks up to 28" and angular.
This an intraformational conglomerate over the pieces, agt.
and dol. bedded in the dol.
No one saw any other fossils. The Lingulepis layer
maybe 6" or more thick. Thick and appears to be the
same species or common in the Brown Highgate.
It showed me us at 10-12 o'clock.
