Clingwood August 3-1912, Saturday.
Spent most of the morning in the quarry
in northeast Clingwood about ten minutes
walk from the Slate Street. Here are exposed
about six feet of dark to greenish-gray limestone
that at the top are decidedly chalky. It is all
limestone, though impure and without true
chalk fanning. The fossils are not abundant
and get out rare. The commonest species
are Dalmanella testudinaria Plec. sericea,
Raf. dettriden ? [illegible]
The rest are
rare. A Terebratula, Fusispira and
Bellerophon are other forms. Williams got three
Scenidium that may be insignis the last
are free lived. Also one Cyclaspis He
got one entire Ilacenus americanus and also
one of Sorulus with a rounder tail than
flatogykalo. In the time being he gave
me his fossils with the understanding
that I am to send them to Raymond
if he wants them. They are packed
separately. I thought also saw a tail
of Ogyphta caracensis, and a cast of
Receptaculites womi.
