Throughout the Ord. series seen this afternoon
there are many intraformational flat-pettle limestone from
one to three foot thick. The flat pettles are less common
in the lying sandstone, and there are none apt to be
of angular limestone in size up to one inch but
common of smaller. These concretion are now very
westerous along the strike, some will peter out in 100
fot but more that could trace more longer than 300.
They are local accumulations. In the sandstone
one sees them very patchy. All the li. and so show
some cross-bedding. The whole series is of very shallow
water - tidal flats - and this explains why the fossils
are or scarce. When present they are all diminutive
