 Enter olasma strictum, Delthyris perlamel- 

 losa, Spirifer cyclopterus, etc. 



The middle 140 ± feet are calcareous shales specially character- 

 ized by an abundance of Spirifer macropleura. Other 

 fossils are Coelospira concava, Atrypina imbri-

The upper 20 ± feet are a hard, cherty limestone and correspond 

 in stratig-raphic position to the Becraft. They contain no G y p i -

 terized by an abundance of Chonostrophia jervisensis, 

 Rensselaeria subglobosa, Dalmanites den-

The next 20 ± feet, Orbiculoidea jervisensis zone, is very similar 

 to the Oriskany of Becraft mountain. 



The upper I20± feet, Spirifer murchisoni zone, contains an abun-
