(Sep. 10 - 1919) (stations) the Rocky layers and in the center is a thick gray of small (pellets) pellets, and almost no Laugan sandstone. Beneath are (pellets) black shales and above sandy green shales. There is no transition for me to the other. Because of the general flatness of the li. Rocks they are arranged in the couple stratified. At the top is a fine sort gray of fine conglomerate (very granular man over many of the larger grains which yield easily) and there is only the slightest transition due to the green shales above. Why this sudden dropping away of li. pellets? Later I see that in the black shale below there are occasional dark lenses of limestone conglomerate. One is 8'x30" another 24'x6'to8'feet. That far below is a 3 feet bed of (Thi may be Raymonds conglomerate, A.) fine conglomerate that is probably not a local lens as the others. (on east drain struck at same mile) When I collected gastrolites yesterday the lower conglomerate above mentioned is at the top of the cliff and is here also 4'to.5 feet thick but more rocky than on the road side. The upper thin zone cannot be seen in this cliff. It may be 170-feet down to the greenish shale which exposes the li. layers holding the gastrolites. (Chmama's key of Raymond) and Elkania. There is fully 150 feet more of black and green shales to the road side at the edge of the Lince. As the
