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.
