In zone 3 at the Jupiter River Cliffs the fossil most often seen is the Onnagraptus large form. All the other fossils are rare, Cetya articulata, Lepto-crelia hemispherica, Acasta, Bernastus, Hemolimitus, Oncoceras, Nucleo- spina, Anastrophia, ? Pentamerus. The formation is much jointed in the cliffs, the cliff is critical above the shale zone E2 and great masses of the upper stuff drifts down to the ground up by the sea making flat perils. The lower zone E2 is a very stiff greenish shale and creathes down into a clay, saw or fossils but this in part because my large marked variation of the deep on Acasta. Why do it now? Juries drift away from the Cliff. This is the most from cliff to cliff at some midday. The Jupiter has a very large mouth but is nearly closed by a head of pellets, thin up by the active sea outside which has been full eroded from the south both east and west. The actual mouth is not now 200 feet wide. There probably was not much life in zone E3 but it seems to me that some of it has been.
