"These limestone strata in the Harrison cliffs are the introductory lime series to the Black River series. The first children Donald and snails out because of the doing nature of decorations but a February 10 and 20 fall. Above come in 12 feet of Lowville the characteristic milky-white birdseye limestone. Some of the beds are dense creamy dull fac- turing limestone interlaid with often flaggy that an oreathing break down into a whole. Had no time to collect fossils but those collected by Forster yesterday are Black River-Trenton forms. Just beneath these beds are still a lot of bygone and Rhynochthoma near incrustations, see any lit. I saw some sun-crookly without transition there rests in the Low- villa a darker granular hard limestone with Colemanaria followed by a series of thin-walled modular limestone separated by shales with the Black River fauna. Of which Forster measured at least 43 feet in the cut 300 feet long when the strata dip at an angle of 10 to 20 degrees (see photos)."
