Below this conglomerate is soft, dark to black
slate in which our fossils were seen, but they
dare the look of Middle Cambrian. Then a
space without exposure, followed by an interl
of a white limestone interpreted perhaps as a
lentic in the Ordovician. It looks much like
the Redledge one, but does not share its flur
structure and pieces of dolomite, although it weather
in places like dolomite. The li. grade into dif.
Reid says the hole outside of the overts is 300
ft long by 100 ft wide, while another one wholly
in the overts is 150 by 120 ft across. In the hole
just a few feet out of the trees Prindle called my
attention to cylindrical crystalline things that I
could not make out. Later when I found the
Byssus in the conglomerate it appeared that these
also may be byssus more completely metamorphosed.
If or these lentic are also about Chazy in
age, and the underlying conglomerate is still younger,
Reid sees structures here that lead him to
think them as just faults connected with the
structure.
