[[stamped]] 0701 [[/stamped]] 43 Fossils are very scarce in the upper beds of the St. Luke. At this locality occurs an excellent section of Oranda and Martinsburg. Next went to Strasburg Junction to see section. The fossiliferous beds collected by Butts and the Cybelopsis bed are definitely under the granular beds we assign to the Whitesburg. The Cyrtonotella beds, we now believe belong to the Athens as revealed at Sharon Springs and the Porterfield Quarry This is the Athens that goes over into Ward Cove & Benbolt. Went to Hupp Hill to collect dirt and etching material. This is a superb section for Nidulites which occurs from the highway almost to the very top of the Chambersburg. Benbolt elements seen in the lower part of the Nidulites zone are Platycystites and Dinorthis Transversa. The latter occurs in the field where the innumerable etch pieces were collected. With it occurs Corineosthis and Christiania. Beds at the top of the Chambersburg section contain numerous Camerocladia.
