October 17-1919, Friday
A fine cool morning. After once then we hom at
the Empire Building, and was shown the fine Cosmic Arms
on the upper or south floor.
We are off at 12 for Oklahoma City, the train
being late 1/2 hours. Then we go by truck to Norman to see
the fossil collections at the State University. Breger is the
very guide until about Thursday when McCray turns up.
This morning in ten minutes saw Professor Moore of
Kansas University. I learned that he had not changed his
mind as regards to the lower shale Band. He thinks that are
is one indissoluble series and if say Pennsylvanian age. I
deliver that he is wrong in that the lower shales are of Tenny-
essee an age. Breger says he never has seen contact
between the laron shales and the Marble Falls. Certain we
can such a contact on the stream on our way to Rush/
Creek in the San John county.
Look to Oklahoma City at 6:30 instead of 4:30 P.M.
Oklahoma
From about 10 miles O.W. of Bartlesville to Hominy
(25miles)
one sees a number of cuttings of leary bedded sandstones
and occasionally thin limestones. On the Kansas line
of the river,
the limestone layers are parallel with bottom sandstones,
but from 20 to 40 miles south one of our there have changed
over to shales. Not only this the sections thicken to the
South, but become muddier and sandier.
