Looked at a number of other exposures going
south to Hinstroy but in one place I did see
another trilobite fragment.
The Billiston is mainly a limestone formation [illegible]
in very deep beds. Here and there are dolomite zones
from one to several feet thick, and in a dark blue
we are for the fossils. Some of the lie, the crinoids
are less than once a less but the white mm granu-
lar magnif and is my oechistric. In such material
we can get no fossils except on weathered surfaces.
The dolomites do not flow and that is the reason
why we get what are dict. At one place we also saw some
slate, dark blue.
When Keith came to Hinstroy he told me that he
had found a fine Lower Cambrian fossil locality, half-
mile N.E. of Fmela Junction [= Martin junction on
map]. Here olenides occurs in abundance
and in better and harder rock than the olddom
locality found yesterday morning. A little to the.
East the Mallett is repeated by one thrusting; see the
line of outcrops marked in my map by Keith. He
thinks this may become a famous Chechester fossil
place.
It was a cold windy miserable day, and without
chance for collecting.
