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.
