19 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.
