Dallas Texas Wednesday, March 15, 1922 At eleven A.M. started out with Fiths and E. B. Stiles and Mr. Price to see the various Cretaceous localities to the east of Dallas. Did not get started until one o'clock, Fiths left a delay in. Passing over through Dallas towards Fort Worth we first ran on the Austin chalk about 400 feet thick, and then ran a town country across the Eagle Ford dark shales. Then ran a sandy country of the Goodtime sandstone. This is the last of the Upper Cretaceous. Then comes in the Wagon shales of the Comanchean and east of Fort Worth the county rises again on the Fort Worth limestone. In the Wagon we got a few points away are Cretaceous. In the Lower Fort Worth a few points out of a hard chalk.
