"with the Lorraine - Black River series. Some of
the fossils are up to an inch in diameter.
Over these follows the Lorraine - Black River
series, and then the Trenton series, the top
of which occurs here at Little Current.
Outside of the milk-white Lorraine bed,
those that I saw the other magnesian limestones
have caused the character of the same
deposits seen at Mt Beloit Wisconsin. It
seems to me to be the New York series
in every way, only that here the limestones are
more magnesian and of lighter color.
The old Huronian floor was a very
irregular one and some of the higher places
once and eroded until Utica time. It is partly
due to this irregular floor that the Ordovician
strata can lie in domes. Where contacts
can be seen then the Ordovician strata
always
dip away from the Huronian wall directions.
Posterson Toronto arrived at 5.30 P.M.
and Professor Parks and Walder at 9.30.
There are now five of us to talk plans for
the Geological Campion Excursion.
Stopping at Queens Hotel.
