- After rusty layers, none of these sand stones are more than 18" thick and most of them are from an inch to 3 inches thick. In my other piece I got a foot prod, a small fireplace and two specimens of a robust mollusks. These fruits appear to me to be of the Lomaine. Being this I spent an almost two hours looking for other material but found no more. Someone ran and ran again the long sandstone once as often as the one that had fruits but in none did I see any fruits. Yet all look to me like other Lomaine sometimes than created in New York or elsewhere. The fruiting juice was loose along the road side, and yet I believe that it was not far out of place being ten times the width of the farm lands. These Lomaine strata continue visible for about 1000 feet south of the Creamery and others at that far southern as someone say down here that got the fruits. Then there is a wide shallow valley (for a half mile) filled now by dry air to a village. I did not go across this valley, but only 1/2 miles south of Bisc. These Lomaine strata adjoin the Dillies at Gross Fault.
