"In the afternoon tried to see contact
between the Niagara and Clinton but failed
to find the place where Williams had seen it.
The Niagara at the supposed base has molds
of a Pentamerus near Morgans but with a very
curved dorsal valve and without fold or
sinus. These holes in the dolomite are very
common. The Niagara is a heavy builded
grey dolomite, in places gummish, that weathers
into thin flakes. In general it is devoid of fossils.
Williams states that below these Pentameres
he observes the Clinton with Leptoceras
planicostatum. We did not see this but still
came and far away from the cliff we again
saw the fossils like those collected yesterday.
One Eridophyllum in the Clinton was at
least 30 inches across. The reef character of
the limestone was again seen here.
Monitwaning Aug 7-1912, Wednesday.
Rained all day and remained
at Queens Hotel.
