derrid of chalk and freis [sic] other than an abundance of Bathstrophic marlshaps, when oreathmid are flat then bedded yellowish limestones that spread become pure magnesian limestone with a tendency in beds to be dolomite. At the cement mills may be seen about 7 foot of the basal beds of the Clinton. Forty feet beneath 'Clinton' contains (O. sinuata, Ostreoeda (Lacicipina etc) and hygroa. The same bed is exposed 1/4 mile further east where the Cement Mills dig red clay to mix with fresh water sluce marl. They use about 3/4 marl to 1/4 of the Queenstown. Along a level about 10 foot higher than the ford some occur lumps of secondary impure gypsum. I now see that the green shales beneath the 'Clinton' are changed Richmond red shales and must be added to the Richmond and not to the Clinton as I formerly supposed. Where the Cement mills dig red clay then there is no Clinton covering. There then is not more than 30 foot of Queenstown slurry due to the dip in this direction. Collected later in the afternoon again in the Clinton quarries. In the beds just over the Richmond there are practically no fossils. Saw a form Orthoceras and a few 20 cal. elegantula. The most prolificous layers occur from 25 to 30 foot above the Richmond.
