Small reptiles tenanted these forests, for Sir W. E. Logan found in 1841 a few footprints of a small creature of this class—the first ever found in rocks of so great age. Coprolites, or the fossil excrements of fishes— small bivalve crustaceans—Leperditia Okeni, a Bei/richia, a Cythere, and an Estherid*—and trails, resembling those made by worms on muddy shores, are also very abundant at llorton Bluff (Fig. 79).
