The bulk of the fossils and by far
the greater number of species come
from the Upper Hamilton or the beds
above the Encrinal Limestone, and in
fact essentially from the Coral zone.
Outside of the Crinoids and the Flens-
tellidae most of the species jump up,
marvel and get many forms and most
of the crinoid held a rather restricted
range.
While the Stringer Hill or locality
is still good collecting ground yet it
it is not as good as it was 17
years ago when I first saw the
place.
I was surprised to see an abun-
dance of Styliolina in the Upper Hamilton
just above the Coral zone. Here it occurs
with Chonetes scitulus, Leirhyssches
limitaris and Ostracoda.
It is probable that most of the Orbatr-
crinus come from the Coral zone. Tapon-
crinus from D. mucronatus beds while
Astroacantha occur in association
