Cheaford, July 24-1912. Wednesday.
Started out with Williams to see the
Richmondian of Workman's Brook about 2 1/4
miles east of Cheaford (Paul's Hotel).
Just where the Railway crosses the brook
one has a fine view and good exposures of
blue-green shales with an occasional thin
limestone band. Whittaker said those beds
are Eden but one had no more than picked
up a few fossils when one had a Chordilipus
Perldiformis, it was loose however.
The slabs are beautifully marked
with Tucoida and among them saw the clump-
tele from hut with an axis about 2 1/4 inches
long. Pentagonal crinoids stems are abundant
and many fine branching Trigona. Saw a
splendid tridbite track while I gave to
Williams.
We only now proceed up the brook into
higher beds. The blue shales continue at least
up to the road bridge, there a lot of fossils marked
between and over railway bridges. Thickness of beds
palest now about 20 feet. The only brachiopods or
far seen are Geospira modesta and possibly
may be known Refingquira mitella.
Plec. Serricena Anningochia radiata and
