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.
