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.
