Riley's
Will Isaac, 1/4 mile NW of Riley.
Farm east with Strph, mays,
Villensis NE 1/4 close along
west bank of small stream.
33 feet below Devon limestones
expands near Riley station,
= immediately north of station.
Dip strongly southward hence
this part of Farm unit is pro-
fably at least 66 ft below Dev.
on an if not more.
Immediately below Devonium is
dense blue clay limestone as
south east of Givens station,
up the road from the bridge.
Near Cave 1 mi W of Riley
Braspora fauna in nodular lines
at me in clay rock, like mudsols
at many Rilm end at SE of
Columbus. Here at 10 ft below Devon l.
Columbana albedata occurs 5 ft
lower than Braspora level but
not more.
Devonian l. along road may sink
SW of cave = at least 6 1/2 ft
thick.
Farther south again a Columnaria
was found close above here in
33 black shale. Hence doubt contacts.
The strong south dip carries the Black
shale below the road going east
as far as beyond the first house
which is on next side of road, 1 mi.
from RR.
Streptolasma just below Devon l.
canadianum, Canadianes.
11 ft below black shale farther down
week in top of Columnaria albedata!
Layers 2 ft thick. Columnaria
abundant, evidently the source of
more specimens.
Streptolasma canadensis shrunken-
away below Columnaria level, in fossil-
iferous strata 3 ft thick, squeezed as
since amount of southward dip is
not known anyway.
Then Tetradium and Calapsecia
Streptolasma canadensis + Columnaria
halbii generally above albedata but
this not certain in layers at least
2 ft thick.
The Tetradium in layer 1 ft thick by
large specimens 2 ft across,
100 yds further S is shrunk at south
branch.
Dip of rock is gently southward,
Not express then for 1/3 mile when
rocks lie way gently northward, here is
Zander Madison clay rock.
50 ft exact measurement above point
where hand enters from west is Colum-
naria bed top. By turned SW up hill.
Follow well Rt Milltown Valley View.
