Sunday Sep. 17 - 1922 Ludlow-Highgate Left Ludlow at 8.30 and got to Highgate Center at 6.30 P.M. It was dark and found Mr. and Mrs. Keith at supper. At 3 1/2 miles north of Verplanks we saw some tumbled dolomites beside the road that I thought might be Ordovician. We soon saw fossils: small Strephochetus, large Bellinckham, a depressed gast (Philites like) and an angular Onuchiomia. Also a small cephalopod and many byzgon were all of which none Praespona-like. These forms showed at once that we were in the Ordovician and that we must be in the Chazy. Then for the material was essentially all limestones and not dolomites. If these are Chagy and if the Champlain series why should they dip at about 60 to 70 degrees? Telling these things further to Keith he said they were of the Champlain series, and we concluded the Li. THe Chagy. Why they are or folded he did not say.
