64 CRETACEOUS PALEONTOLOGY. 



made many years ago and now preserved in the Philadelphia 

 Academy of Science, the shells themselves are perfectly pre- 

 served. The local faunas which have been studied will be noted 

 in order according to their localities, from the northeast to^ the 

 southwest. 



^ Locality 102^. — The National Fireproofing Company operate 

 extensive clay pits at Lorillard, east of Keyport, in the Woodbury 

 clay. In the deepest portion- of the pit, south of the railroad 

 tracks, about 20 feet of black clay is dug. At about the middle 

 of the bank, through a thickness of from three to five feet, numer- 

 ous concretionary -nodules occur, ranging in size from a foot or 

 more in diameter, down to a few inches, which are thrown aside 

 as the clay is excavated with the steam-shovel. While embedded 

 in the clay these nodules are of a dark, ash-gray color, but on 

 exposure they gradually weather to a reddish-brown and become 

 harder. They are abundantly fossiliferous and have afforded a 

 large fauna, as follows : 



Anthozoa. 



Micrahacia anicricana M. & H. 



ECHINODERMATA. 



Hemiaster kilmmeli Clark n. sp.
