October 11
Collected Percha shale east of Silver City. Go east of Silver City to New Mex Hy. 180 which comes into main road at Central. At Santa Rita take road for Georgetown and Mimbres. 1.4 miles east of Georgetown block shale appears. Then comes the gray (yellow) Percha above abounding in fossils. At hair pin turn in Mimbres the Percha appears to the north in a small ravine. Here it is very fossiliferous and all the New Mexico species described by Kindle can be found. The hills on both sides of the valley contain Percha shale and this is an excellent place for further investigation.
