Sep 22-1974 About 2 miles west and half mile farther Below these and to the west are [illegible] marked, and west are log exposures of the Mallett sand dol. These just south of the Bellemontown - the same series as at Phillipsburg. I visited these last year with Raymond. He examined (Mallett) them on the south side of road about 1 ½ mile west of H. Atams. Here they are in the lower part of the Mallett, it has scattering angular pieces of intra- formational dol. There is considerable (maybe 10%) of rounded large grained sand that appears to be wind flown sand. There is a considerable thickness of Mallett here, but by no means so full the thickness given by Keith for the Mallett at its thickest. Then there is a slowly ascending [illegible] road and on the north side near the first houses there is a good ex- plosion of basal Philton dolomite. In character, it is almost identical with the Mallett. North of the road in the bushes one sees that the basal part of the Philton is a giant conglomerate, a dolomite glaze with rounded sand grains in which are frags (angular) of the Mallett dolomite and Gilchrist Dale in signs up to at least 40 feet down. It rests directly upon the Gilchrist, here in the upper
