Evidently I am something out to the north.
Farther west was a small thickness of sandy
dolomite, followed down grade by
a zone (?) of white quartzite, and still lower
a gneis (?) (furn or) of dolomite conglomerate.
This is undoubtedly the Oniltn. The whole is
less than 35 feet thick.
Still farther west and at once beneath the
Oniltn came in the Cretaceous sandy and lign
slates. Saw few fragments of trilobites but
none were determinable. One fragment may have been
desmes of Allmylles.
The first place visited this afternoon was about
1/3 mile N.W. in Onantm, - Shipgate.
Here we saw what appear
the lower 30 feet of Oniltn. Outcrop was the clt.
conglomerate with blocks of rolite, and beneath with
in great thickness of smelly white limestone. An
litter side there was no shale to be seen in the
farm lands.
The morning was very productive, but the
afternoon was negative as far as fossils are concerned.
