(6000 miles) From Agra to Oklahoma City one sees in the Permian red beds. From the car windows the several rail- cuts show a brick-red sandy shale with thin zones of red sandstone or thick zones of thick reddened sandstones. The sandstone often irregularly in the sand shales as if chan- nelled and usually there is near it some bedding of the pre-setting type. The whole looks to be the southern side of a delta with the material coming in from the north. Southeast of Ardmore at 20 miles the high Permian at Bartlesville is marine fauna and are a slant replete with bivalves everywhere (Plumthorpe life) and some Productus. Later down to go almost to the western end of Oklahoma (most in the Parklands area) to see the marine Permian fauna collected by Gould and described by Beede (Tu- chotetra schuckerti) clay with bivalves, The Permian over today has thin veins of gypsum. Decayed gypsum filling the joints. We passed through a number of oil fields today and finally through the park Cushing Field. Tank farms occur down miles after miles, and make the 15 oil refineries are near. Many new ones are going down in the Cushing field. This field comes up to the Permian [interlaced] and no oil fields seem as yet in the Permian area. Beneath the Permian there may be good fields. I wonder what the only cut miles show.
