Wyoming Residual cliff in clift 36\frac{1}{2}^o Middle 10^o white de clay 11^o brownish andy clay 16\frac{1}{2}^o Sandy cl. with few sandy l. layers 33^o Sandy layer limestone in s.cl. Fossils few in upper part of M.Richm. Between 10-13 ft above base Plect- aurimustes + Bythopra quadratae c murum. Stroph. retusta rare. About 3^o above base are Stroph. retusta, Clypeotroena capax. Base of Middle Richm and top of Lower Richmnd. Dimorthis subquadrata frm in with 2 feet of thin lens zone ? Hebertella insculpta, good H. sinuata, Streptolaema. Plectaen retusta, Calopocia. Rhydictisoma capax. stroph. planulobara. Represgrina - Platystrophia. 7\frac{1}{2}^o Sandy clay limestone with Hebertella in sculpita rather scattered at top and the rest of the fossils meted above in the remainder of the section below. 35^o of exposure containing good limestone layers. Stroph. planumula occurs 15^o down =23^o belov top of H. insculpta 18^o Below top of H. in sculpita was found single Dalmanella jugra. 26\frac{1}{2}^o Below H. insculpta = Stroph. neglecta. 35^o below H. insculpta = Catayga headi. Wyoming. From 23 feet below H. insculpta. Hebertella sinuata is chief fossil. C.76-81^o Below H. insculpta - Brygran layer with 5 Rhydictisoma dentatum just above and Leptaea rugomni- dalis just above base of Brygran layer. B 18^o Dense blue limestone. Lynx limestone. NB = C. B at retama varians, Hel certygke Mastogyra the usual flat Dimichila from Hemistropa baselori. For 16\frac{1}{2} feet above B the 2 mm fossils (Rhygrana) appear to occur = 64\frac{1}{2} ft below insculpta.
