There is yet half 200 feet of it
Red Queenstown shale where coming of.
Basal greenish grey sandstone in one bed,
orange seamy, but there is plenty of coarse mac.
8 feet thick^ then a sandy shale given 2-10 inches.
Then one bed of dolomite 12 to 16 inches. Then
thin bedded magnesian limestone with mud shale
carry this a 4 inch layer of sandstone.
Lustrous for about 8 feet. Then thin bedded lie.
with the joint of the section correct^ crust mud shale. for about 20 feet^ these beds
shunned in Helpura and have other Cataract
fossils. The Heloprion dorocem is the basal
shale along with Plec. transversalis, Favozites
and other regular Catabract brachipods.
