"Holmsfelv"
Then the Harejor formation as elsewhere
of softer muddy limestone for 112 ft. Here
the Creymans fossils in greater abundance.
Then the Stronghouse formation capped at
the top as elsewhere by hard li. Thick
beds.
Then the Chimney Hill limestone
Again I see no evidence (lithologically)
to distinguish the Stronghouse ad Harejor
formations from the Bois d'Arc. All appears
to agree to be the earliest known Neornia sequence.
Are then drive again to three miles
north west of Donahue, and to the east of the
Santa Fe R.R. to a place where an oil well
capped by fire
has been drilled into an Ordovician dome that
gets a very thick oil, practically an asphalt.
Here in a small stream within a quarter mile
of the well one sees the top of the Viola lime-
stone, a brittle light colored thin fidded lower
stone. It has much erminulated fossils,
