We then stopped at Jones' Hill to take a
quick look at the Martins red sandstone under-
lying the Dinorose but not all sandstone since
we saw one zone of pink cl. silt, s.t.b. far
thick.
These sandstones are red with ferric iron
are sometimes rippled (oscillation type) by small as
not deep ripples. The muddy layers are sun-cracked
and in one zone my fingers felt what appears
to be rain pittings. There are also faucoidal re-
main, one of which appears to be articulate.
Saw no animal remains. These sands must
have been laid down on tidal flats and therepu
in very shallow water. Reith give their thick-
ess as 300 feet plus down to north west.
Came 130 miles
Stopping at Mrs Grace Tolders' county
hotel.
* Reith describes the Millton-Clachatu contact
here as "conformable and cut out six fath Clachatu,
bringing out the underlying siltymy."
