Craighill July 25th 1912. Thursday.
Left Creafield at 9.30 on a mixed
train and got to Craighill at 10.45. Stopping
at a small farm house run by an old
lady.
Spent an hour before lunch along the
beach to see the Collingwood Hard shale.
Found it interbedded with thick solid some-
what dark (slightly bituminous) but generally
grey limestone. The fauna is more Triassic
than Jura in the general sense, along with
Osaphus canadiensis occurs what looks
like Trinurus feeki. Dalmanella testu-
dinaria is the most abundant fossil. A turrid
Refingquira is also common. Also saw
an Illanus (the common Triassic form) and
Prospera.
