more than a mile and a half from this junction, is 

 a fossil locality furnishing the nearest marine remains, in the ascending 

 section, to the plant and coal-bearing beds of Trombow to the south.

The section occurs in the valley between the southern outer rido-e 

 and the main body of the hills. 



The sandstone No. 6 is succeeded above by others of finer texture 

 thinner, and of gray colour, associated with ferruginous layers and some 

 shaly beds, all dipping to the south-south-west at 15° and 20,° the 

 angles, however, decreasing in that direction as the plain to the south is 

 reached. Near the crest of the smaU outer ridge are some dykes of gray 

 trap and a soft greenish variety, which may be either contemporaneous 

 or intruded between the beds.
