(8) September 24, 1924, Wednesday. Started north on Roadlidge to see the great trilobites and the conglomerate about it. Prindle soon had a large piece of li. out of the conglomerate that yielded a large lot of Miltom fossils like those described by Raymond. Keith also found of them some more howdies, each trilobite is wrapped separ- ately. This shows that they are not cast from milliform Milton, = Missouri quadr. li. Then Prindle found a place next to the great trilobites this when there was a bed of sandy limestone embedded in the fossil of the conglomerate. This bed about 3 inches thick functioned out in one direction and was cut off by tridite in another, the whole about 4 feet long. It had fossils and strike ones than one hour at it and got about a half dozen fine pieces of this site. It should date to the age of the conglomerate = Port Washgate = Raymondtown. We then went to slope exposures a short distance to the S.W. where there was another li. conglomerate about (very few say some). 10 feet thick where it was handeled about, and below it Prindle had a large Lipulella ad an smaller trilobites lead. I saw that these fossils where the same one got got yesterday on Martin Emmers land. After working
