March 13-1926 Saturday, Austin.
This afternoon Dillards took me to see the upper face of Edwards limestone. First to a quarry in west Austin, then to Deep Eddy Bathing Pool (a sort of summer resort), then to the Big Dam on the Colorado River, and finally to exposures along the river. Many all that I got are Miliolinas and true heart archings.
The Edwards has one bed about 30 inches thick comprised of Miliolina forams,
Beneath the few thick and good beds of quarry limestone are thinner beds and at the base of these one bed extensive exposed was sun-cracked away where. Therefore this layer was exposed to the air. The Miliolina bed also jetties of a yellowish nature, make a low angular and up to 4 inches lay and an inch thick; these are of an intraformational nature, showing that these waters were very shallow.
March 14-1926. Sunday. Austin
