This means that the strata beneath the Cretaceous are here
folded. Meaning for south place across the Archelles
it is safe to say that these cuts have a width of 50 miles
at work.
[Written Oct. 26-1919]
The Pennsylvanian has a thickness about
Andmore if about 18,000 fut. If to this is added
the 3000 fut. of Carey the thickness becomes
21,000 fut. In the detailed stratigraphy see
the six sections given out by Dr. L. Goldston
of the Empire Co. Work out the remarkable
lithic changes in the four sets of sections taken
north and south of Andmore.
A little coal has been seen in the Penn., and
in the lower part there goes a two fut. thick of
red shales. Evidently there are substantial deposits.
The evidence is all in form of very shallow
leas. The limestones are rare, clean biy, and the
sandstones nearly always show cross-bedding and
sometimes shallow water rippling. The scarcity of
land plants is remarkable.
