Laurantia
Falls of Chocotomac!
24.2.
Just at the Falls on the east side I
leaned down and saw the contact between the
Laurentian and Trenton. The old floor is very con-
colidate
densed and in sure the crevices the material of the in-
rading den has filled them. Fossils occur in
these filled crevices of the Laurentian. There
are ? Coccinimum and a large Placophora here.
A few feet higher in the regular bedded limestone
I saw Trinisculus concentricus, Ceramus plenex
antemius, Calymene calliceps/hala, Dalmanella
testudivaria, Comularia.
At the contact there is no evidence of sand
as the Laurentian is very smooth. There should
be sand somewhere, but it is not at the spot.
Then went up the stream to the upper
dam. Here the limestone seems to be at the
very top for it is Hack with Hack shale
