October 18-1919 Saturday Norman.
Left in the 8 A.M. train for Midmore to see Dr.
Hanman, the state Geologist and the collections of
fossils. Sat 7. on Dr Hanman at 9.30
Fossils from the Jackfruit formation collected by C. Dr.
Storeren in 1919.
Grey sandstone (number 941) with a small bifoliate Lepido-
ceras of the Brisonian series,
deadum. I think White could identify it. It suggests an old form.
Grey calcareous or weathering chert, st. brown (943) has small
round corinoid stems and tiny fragments of byssora. All are
works. This piece should be completely broken up to preserve the fossils.
Same as before (944) same rounded and petaloid corinoid
columns and some fragments of byssora. 943-4 are of some value.
No 925 only sandstone shows core-in-core. Suggests casts
of Articoridea but are core-in-core.
No 942 grey sandstone with leaf and wood casts suggesting
Conducts.
Fragments broken from 943 and 944 with the same fossils as above.
The byssora casts suggest bifoliate forms like Cyatrodichya or Stictopora.
Stips
from under
about 3/16 inch across. All casts. There are a few other fragments
of organisms but I cannot make the out. There is also a blade
dentohypera-like form.
No 976 yellow rhyne cementation broken piece, about 2 inches
also a Michelini'a
in diameter. Suggests Columbaria or Calaprocia. Coralite
plain like open cone and ridged lines of spirals. Tabulas ascending
and. Works like Tabulata and yet I can't say what it is.
