126 WYNNE : GEOLOGY OF KtTCH. [PART II. 



Belemnifes and wood. Westward of the village are several intrusions of 

 gray trap often decomposed, some of which have penetrated between 

 the neighbouring beds. A little to the south is the continuation of the 

 large dyke, more than 100 feet wide, which has been already mentioned 

 as occurring north of Chitrore. 



Westward of Rahpoor, thick beds of yellow and soft red sandstone 



roll over the ground with low northerly dips, and 

 West of Rahpoor. ° j r ^ 



on the road to Trummo some calcareous blo<!ks 

 full of Trigonia, Astarte, Belemnites, and Oysters, are scattered about. 

 Where the road approaches a river said to come from near Adhove, 

 reddish slightly ferruginous sandstone with some fossil wood alternates 

 twice with soft purple sand, all horizontally overlying a thick band, 

 somewhat more argillaceous, with calcareous nodules, in which are 

 embedded numerous Belemnites and Oysters. 



A thin dyke of purple trap crosses these beds in the river, and, 

 further west, purple shales come out from beneath them, extending for 

 a considerable distance down the stream. Where this turns to the north, 

 and is crossed by the road to Trummo, these shales are overlaid by 

 purple, red, gray, and brown sandy flags, with black and gray gypseous 

 shaly and sandy partings, containing, as usual, small plant fragments and 

 also little bivalve shells, the sandy beds having surfaces covered with 

 annelid markings. Over these are red hsematitic layers with yellow 

 calcareous concretions and thin red shales, among which is a dim 

 colored layer of impure limestone with a few shell casts. Five feet or 

 more of red shales succeed, and then the same concretionary fossiliferous 

 bed as was found further up the stream. At a little distance above this 

 last bed both Belemnites and Ammonites occur in concretions in very 

 dark red sandstones, among which one or two thick beds are crowded 

 with large Ammonites and fossil wood so thickly entangled that it is 

 almost impossible to extract an unbroken specimen from the soft ferru- 

 ginous matrix. Some of the Ammonites here have a diameter of more
