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.
