November 2, Sunday.. Muskogee.
A fine cool and perfect day.
All morning I was studying the separate Manna
faunas as listed by Mathews in his report of 1905. It
is now clear to me that the Chester faunas are mixed
with the Manna at the Leroy Quarries. All the
other Oklahoma Manna localities have straight
Manna faunas. At Leroy the Manna appear like
theinself, about so far, while elsewhere it rises
to 190 feet. This then is one clear gain, and
there can be no more doubt about the Manna for-
matien of Old fauna. It tends to be more decidedly
limestone in the Muskogee region than in Arkansas.
As there is no Carey in the Muskogee area
its place is taken by limestone with the Pitkin or
Chesterian faunas.
In regard to the Marble Falls limestone I will
not be surprised if it is younger than the Manna
making of a part of the Stroma. This then maybe
the explanation like there is or little Stroma
in the San John County f Texas.
