September 26 1934 Friday.
Started north on Highgate road to next left
land road north of Skeels Corners going west. At the
corners is [illegible] conglomerate, and most of it is
the orell banded Highgate slate going down to the
thin dolomite layers seen in the Mississipi gorge.
These make a high eroding faciy cliff here. In these
slates, four fragmets of the Lingulella seen at
Highgate Centu, and fragmets of unecogingate
trilobites.
To the west is far land without exposures, and
then appears cuteriges of Orilton dolomite with
intraformational conglomerates. The Orilton terminates
below
in a giant conglomerate that to the south is chiefly
made up of dolomite fragmets and to the north of
several kinds of limestone and [illegible]. Some of these
[illegible] are up to 6 feet across. In one of the blocks
to my great surprise I got Bryozoa and probably
Strophichetes showing that the limestone is probably
of Chazy age. The limestone looks like the
Chazy Sea gastropod.
