681, Cythereas vallandingham:
Stephenson plant canyoxa.
Hadrilla sea sinuata.
Rafinesquina, with rhyncholite
in Orthoclyna chula layers
which here are well stratu-
fied blue limestones.
Covered by at least 25 ft of lime-
stone, with abundant fossils
among which plat. ponderosa
is very common. This
rock is quite similar to the
underlying ortho but proba-
dy in the lower part of what
I have been calling the
Cygnillite. It is more argil-
lacous than the Orthorhy-
chula rock, the hygrophy-
are much less and plat.
Ponderosa + Hadrillia make
up most of the fossils. It
ranges upward into more
typical Cygnillite rock.
At top the typical Rhyncholite
layer Richardson comes in,
with heavier layers seen
the same. Also some clean
ver layers near the top;
in heavier layers near the
top one finds fine blue, fine
grained limestone. No fossils
probably just below the
Calmerock's limestone.
