For the present this top of the leavy bedded li appears to me like a diadem primity. The fossil don't appear to have. On this demmably surface and filling its de- pression comes in about 12 foot of evenly bedded and vary thin and thick bedded dark limestone that has some cemented earth but are clean from li. within intense yellows. On the subfaces and in this very thin interbedded shales occurs many Treprotonata, hardly any Forestellidae, erimidal ossicles and stones, and many brachipoda. I saw nothing here that could not be regarded Pennsylvanian. Several species of large Productus, a crassof striate; large Aluya, Hustedia momomi, Puprax etc, Spinifera cemerata, Orthotichia resupinoides, etc. This part of the Marble Falls than continues above other li not more exposed with much erimidal material and the thick bedded cliff mad in li. The whole of the li series is just about 100 foot thick here. We are then over of the stream one-half mile where the Marble Falls at the top introduces Hard shale with interbedded thin limestone. It is the transition zone due to the Smithard Hard shale. One of the thin li is literally made up of marked graniolites beautifully sculptured with several my lines. See the several plots.
