Nearby King's bed 18 or in the
base of bed 19 - red silicious
slate siltstone - 10' + thick
The lower part of King's section
was much easier to follow than
the upper part. This might be in
part the result of the topography,
for beds 14 and higher are exposed
on the top of the escarpment. Now
again, there seems to be a change
in lithology at the internal of
the Here fossil beds - just
above & below - I have already
tried to follow the route of
the succeeding section; it is
possible we missed it in the
upper units.
The fossil beds are partly
porous and here and there not the
respective cliff foundations to
the west. Silicilites nearly
make up alot of this interval
above below the Nexe fossilized.
