The oceans chiefly in a very shallow sea, the oceanic crusts bringing in the precipitates and killing these in the freshened crusts. Of course in the Humaidia time -- much later in Leon time did regular oceanic oceans make their appearance. Lauren ones in the two most southern camps of Li cayl. In the most southerly one there is a limestone [instead of Upper Cambrian age] that is at least 80 feet long by 40 feet thick. Associated are many smaller masses up to 6 to 8 feet long, both these is much green shale and even a sandy light green Precambrian dark shale. The whole must be a rock slide so there is an average mix of pieces as in the other camp. It all has between sandy shales. [Green and blue] Let me piece with a trilobite head or tail that looks like Upper Cambrian. Later get a few more fossils, are Upper C or Ordovician
