Sept. 10 - 1919
When these conglomerates formed, they must have been
cliffs in the sea (?) fault faces exposing at least here
Upper Cambrian and Laugan. I am not certain that
the pebbles here at Leri have Lower Cambrian fossils
if or then also those lls were exposed. In general it
means that Lower Cambrian lls where followed by Upper
Cambrian lls, and over the latter came the Laugan sand
stone. Of silters and shales I saw no pieces in the
conglomerates today.
As I do not think the succession as made
out today drills for run it again tomorrow.
The limestone pebbles are too generally distributed
throughout the Leri, or these if they are as of cliff origin,
in places the floods are large and such may be at the
base of cliffs within the magnific spaces the pebbles
must have had another source.
