especially abundant near
the top.
Among others the following
are found:
Arthria occidentalis,
Florinea demissa
Other lamelli branches like
those near Moreland,
Murchisonia like those
near Moreland,
At least 13 feet of Devonian
massive limestones with
fossilifermo chert mod-
ules overly these beds.
The bed with large chert
modules and irregular mas-
ses of chert is great abun-
dance is found imme-
diately above.
On the road to Carpenters
station, a considerable
distance south of this sec-
tion, the brecciated bed is
seen.
A mile and a quarter south
of the J.S. Underwood farm,
where the road turns ab-
ruptly eastward Fossilif-
erous Lower Silurian is
found in the creek.

On the high bank north west of
the road angle the top of the
Devonian is evidently well ex-
pored. As seen from the road,
the brecciated layer and thin
bed with large chert modules
and irregular masses of chert
is judged to be in place.

Carpenter's Station,
at Carpenter's station a
road branches off from the
Hustanville-Carpenters
station road, and takes
a northerly course before
turning southwards. Along
this road the Madism beds
are well exposed. They are
shaly. The overlying dark
blue dense limestones
are slightly exposed. The
heavy masses of chert
record a sufficient dis-
tance above the Lower
Silurian beds to leave
plenty of room for the
Devonian beds below the
beds full of chert. Even the
ordinary Devonian bed can
tain considerable chert, it
must be remembered.
