Initially also are Richmond but the fossils are
less diagnostic. (See above) D
As we once again into the Richmond the
strata become more and more sandy, the hachis-
[illegible] dry out, the Byrgon keeps on but the
Trapostmatu dry out first leaving the minute
forms to continue. Finally we gets into
greenish sandy shales of considerable thickness
with their characteristic luterine that have minute
byrgon, astuerda, Jigospina accusvirrata
and Lepiditius like caecijena. See my
[illegible] fossils.
Then come in a considerable thickness of
red-brick-red shales devoid of fossils.
All follow these and including them I
call as if Richmond age.
Then higher follows green sandy shales
without fossils that may be from 44 to 5 feet
thick. These are probably the introductory beds
to the lower luterine of siluric age! At the
top the shales change gradually into harder
beds and these rapidly give over to say the bedded
lithic green, finely granular sand or whome
