"Limehouse is about 3 miles north of Sea-
town on the Grand Trunk R.R. The station is at
the east of the cut in which the section that
follows is to be seen.
From the railway track up for five feet occur
brick-red shales with an occasional green band.
There are marked a few specimens but others are in this layer 1st,
Heloprion occurs here and below to the man above. ^
The beds thin out.
On these shales and apparently without break
for there is some transition,
hick-red
occur about 5 feet of them bedded arenaceous lime-
stones, that are thinly bedded and separated by thinner
bands of shales. It is not this zone that most of
our fossils come. The horizon is the Hamilton
Clinton.
Byzagra formation and belongs in the Oswego
Group "Clinton beds".
Then follows higher about 6 feet of green shale
with very thin bands of limestone in which the Heloprion
care very abundant and, it evidently belongs to the
early
Laurie series. See the Byzagra.
and apparently with a decided break
sharply upon these green shales come on some-

then follows another distinct section,
the dolomitization of the
dolomites of the
Chicaguan series. All of these limestones I
