There seem to be no shells in a.
Stratification, with sand, etc., appears in [[underlined]] c, [[/underlined]] and there are a few shells.
The upper part, [[underlined]] a [[/underlined]] is also like the Missouri river loess.
The darker loess in [[underlined]] b [[/underlined]] contains many fossils (though not quite so many as at (Wasenweiler in cut 4), and many large calcareous nodules, - especially in the upper part. There are a good many fossils imbedded in the nodules.

We were told next morning that during the night 150000 men had been sent from and through Freiburg to Mülhausen!
