that matter, I did not look for them. Took one picture looking at the W side of the gap, down stream, another of the lower Mesa Verde on the W side from the E side. Another of the upper fossil outcrop on E side. Reached camp at 1:30 p.m.. Very hot forenoon. Afternoon I cleaned the Oreohelix Oreohelix from Newcastle Newcastle, Colorado and found both species to contain young. Then at 4 p.m. Terry and I visited the very steep slope showing upper Mancos shales and lower Mesa Verde sandstones. I the lower Mesa Verde we found a thick stratum (about 8 inches) filled with fossils, including Baculites Baculites, Bryozoa Bryozoa, Serpula markmani Serpula markmani, Anchura Anchura, et al., but no Cardium Cardium, Mactra Mactra, Callista Callista or Ostrea Ostrea. The three faunas we have found here are very distinct. In this last horizon we also found 2 specimens of Halymenites major Halymenites major and many plant stems, probably marine. Reached camp at 6:30, retired at 9:30
