These Middle Cambrian slates do not extend to the
East far, and the next sharp rise in the road brings in
to the south of the road a fine exposure of limestone
and lime. It has at the base, only by the St.
Altars slate
a sandy dolomite about 6 feet
thick that laterally passes into a fine bottle li,
engl. Histon of iron from 15 to 20 foot of hardy
limestone conglomerate, in which there thin flat
limestone and shell lime. None of the pieces
exceeds 3 feet across. It once got fossils out of it.
Overlying this li. engl. comes in the Hylgate
slate, here decidedly bandeled as at Bore Hill.
I saw no fossils with. Just how thick it is now
not determined.
So far have seen no Scania slate.
In all of the conglomerates of Normant nor
one has seen pieces of the Monton or Birrosi,
or the eastern Cheshire quartzite. Later on
are a few pieces of Birrosi.
