The locality of Saturday is 2 miles tr E,
or 3 miles S. of Baptist.
See the small list from things collected for ident
ification. This Lower Bapt antic strikes S.65W
and dips 10°S.E. The fauna is the regulatian
Pennsylvanian one collected last Saturday.
The road then goes for 4/10 miles
folded Tesson. At 24.4^ seen yellowish lim-
stone limestone and shales of the Lower Bapt antic
cut stand almost vertical. They strike S.65°W
See the fossils; the Chaetetes in a sort group seem
atm 200 ft lower from the fauna collection.
These rocks are certainly to limestone floor that
dave nothing to do with the vertical Lower Bap-
tantic. As J. Jeff Christie cross lines from the vertical beds
the wrong one of the Baptist antic.
It is now established that the Tesson was
folded before the regulatian Pennsylvanian
sea came in. When the Pennsylvanian
was folded and eroded before the Dipper Bap-
tantic sea came in. (This view was later on completely changed)
Finally collected for a half from in a thin
shale zone of the Wolf camp, Britton's Fusulina
and Schraferina. Nearly all of the Wolf camp here
is a coarse conglomerate and sandstone, and
farther N.E. appears to vanish. The shale is very coarse
with all kinds of subrounded to well rounded pebbles.
