"After limol started north from St. Albans and at about 3 1/2 miles north came upon a large exposure of the [illegible] conglomerate, that it lies upon the Shiggate slate. One man of the Shell- burne Limestone has a length of 60 feet long, 15 feet thick, and the other one we can see at least 30 feet of it. It is undulant of conglomerate and run- pair by conglomerate. This large mass is clearly transported. A little south of the big limestone boulder one sees interlaided sandstone lenses. Here are marine dolomite infilling fragments of trilobite luid and line of rounded sand grains, see Sample. Here is a little cliff about 13 feet high like the: Limestone conglomerate pressed and schistose About 7 feet thick. Round grained sandstone with bit/lithic pellets. 14" thick dolomite with round grained sand. Same sandstone with many lithic pellets [unseen] about 24" thick Li, Congl. Pellets stardly 3feet see photo These sandy - dolomite infilling can be seen at several levels, and at different places. The taste of the conglomerate is dolomite with round sand grains. In places such dolomite-sand is devoid of conglomerate and here appear to be rare organic debris!
