The section [fig. 190] is as follows: _ _ _ 



° J Feet Inches 



Till, with numerous boulders 2 



Eondout waterlime 



e9 Weathered lime mudrock, somewhat arenaceous 



in texture 1 3 



e8 Weathered lime mudrock similar to the preced- 

 ing. [This and the next lower bed below T 

 the soil become porous through weathering, 

 changing to a soft, friable and rotten rock.] 1 6 



e 7 Lime mudrock weathering brownish in thin lay- 

 ers separated by shaly streaks which are dis- 

 continuous, the whole varying in thickness 

 from 16 to 20 inches 1 6 



e6 Dark lime mudrock containing many small frag- 

 ments of Favosites and Stromatopora. Some of 

 these are overturned and all are fragmentary, 

 showing much wearing. Stromatopora is more 

 abundant than Favosites. The fragments are 

 equally common in the upper and the lower 

 portion of the bed. and they are almost abun- 

 dant enough to make the rock a lime conglom- 

 erate with the corals forming the pebbles held 

 in a muddy paste 1 9 



e5 A bed of somewhat more arenaceous texture but 

 a very pure limestone in composition. It con- 

 tains large heads of Favosites and Stroma- 

 topora, but most of them appear to be frag- 

 mentary or overturned. Between this and the 

 preceding higher bed are some shaly layers 

 containing small but complete heads of 

 F a \ o s i t e s h e 1 d e r b e r g i a e p r e c e- 

 dens and Stromatopora. With them occur 

 C a in a r o t o e C h i a ? I a m e 1 1 a t a and 

 Leper ditia cf. j one si. The thickness - 

 varies from 18 to 21 inches 1 8
