"8a" This should then good locality for Parareids fossils since the cleavage are folding are alike. Much later in her easily got at. August 12-1955. Dem have visited Dr. Struck, and he told away a lot of material among them two good flatelles of Parareids, All suggest hips Mid.C. I took several things a cast of Pos. and another big tailed trilite. All fels. refers to page (8). The di. cnglomite at the base of the Highgate is from str 10 foot there and is mainly of white hilsege ang. li. even as lutes in the L.C. The pieces are angular to sub-angular and range up to 8 feet long, but many below 2 feet. The paste is a creamy limy rusty weather fills. Here and there are pieces of 18" long of a very sandy dol., such as one sees in the Mallett. Coming there is no Oniller dol. though there is some not far to the W. There is not a piece here of the then reddish Missisquoi, nor did I see a trace of a fossils in any of the li. This engl. runs h-5. for 70 yards; the more for 60 yards when then in one engl. for 15 yards. Else where the Highgate shale into directly on the St. Albans shale. There can be no doubt that this is a basal cenglomite.
