Limestone pobbles. Insofar hidden in the Braxton
masses we can see limestone pobbles and occasionally one
foot from us of the Hellburne Limestone. In places
the Braxton is a shale conglomerate that is an intraformational conglomerate. Yesterday Dar
reced a limestone pobbles in the Shifgate shale below.
To the south of this lays or as lies another
layer me of the Hellburne Limestone. Its dimensions
90 by 50 x 10 feet.
Payles thinks these two masses are actually
boulders and some dropped into the sea by glaciers
grounding out into the sea. Keith is rather disposed,
and I agree with him, that they are the Hellburne
residuals [in place]. of Shifgate Falls.
The 15 foot one of thin bedded limestone in the
Milton is entr[?]3 & feet thick, ten foot of it being
taken up by five goes of limestone conglomerate. The
lowest one about me but three I thought is intra-
formational, and probably are of them are intraformational
conglomerates. Keith interprets the section as follows:
At top the Shifgate slate.
Then about 50 feet of dolomite = Milton
The Milton thick conglomerate as seen on south
bank of Minnesota [illegible] or in north bank, has
too large li. boulders. About 20 feet thick.
Bereth is the following section.
