Left Nashville about 1PM and went on to Murphreesboro where we collected Murphreesboro fossils on the south side of Stones River, west of U.S. 41.  Here the WPA is building an armory and a great deal of chert from the upper part has been thrown out.  We made a large collection.

Oct. 8 - First stop was at bridge over Stones River about one mile southwest of Lascassas on Tenn. 96.  Here Murphreesboro lies in stream bed.  Pierce comes over it on east side bridge and the Ridley overlies the Pierce.  We collected Murphreesboro and Pierce.  [[left margin]] 1.45 [[/left margin]]

Next visit was to old Pierce Mill, 1/2 mile S of Walter Hill on Tenn. 10.  Here is a small exposure near power plant of thin ls. with bryozoans.  Much of the material is without fossils and is quite vaughanitic in character.
Visited Ridley on N side of road crossing Stones River a mile due east (airline) of Jefferson.  Here near top of exposed sequences we found [[underlined]] protorhyncha. [[/underlined]]

Visited Nice's Mill where Pierce is well exposed. Here [[underlined]] protorhyncha [[/underlined]] occurs in the bryozoan beds near top. Over the Pierce we found Ridley Rhynchotrema in soil.

Oct. 9. - Spent morning at Marshalls Knobs on Ridley.  [[left margin]] 7.71 [[/left margin]] This is more massive limestone that the Pierce but in general is very fine-grained brownish gray, brittle to weathering light ash.  All through the formation Rafinesquina like deltoidea is abundant with a [[underlined]] Strophomena Protorhyncha [[/underlined]] occurs throughout the Ridley.
