The overlying darker and tougher greensands contain the brachiopod Pachymagasparki (Hutton) in great numbers, especially in the more sandy lower 2 ft. The upper surface of the hard limestone (bed c) is uneven, having been corroded orworn into smooth cup-shaped depressions that are separated by roimded ridges. Thegreensands lie on this uneven surface and their lower portion contains hard calcareous Plate A. C. Gilford, photo] A. QuAKRY OF Oamahl Stone, Teschemakers.
