GEOLOGICAL Curiosity Rev. K. NJ.
Luther, while absent in attendance upon the
Missionary Convention. held in Addison,
VT, obtained through the kindness OF Rev.
Mr.. Mott, rare and curious geological
specimen from the shores Of Lake Cham
lain. 1t is \ slab of limestone. about eleven
inches long by six inches wide, which ap-
pears to be composed almost of fossils.
There Is not hall an inch square of the
surface which does not show a fossil There
are many varieties, some of which haye not
been identified. but among those which
have been, are many remains Of the Triuu-
cleus cOnccniricus, some specimens Of
PetraIa. fragments of the Orthis. a number
Of Discire. several well preserved specimens
of Leptenae, and Impressions of Lingula
The latter IL the only shell which has exist
ed from the first dawn Of lille until the
present time without change. The specimens
OF existing Lingula are precisely similar to
those found IN the earliest geological lorna
tons. There are also on the slab several
rare specimens OF sea weed, remains of
which are seldom found at 20 early an age
in the geological history Of the world The
slab belongs to tho Lower Slurian iOrma-
ton, the first in which organic remains are
found. Ii is probably from the Trenton
Epoch of that age. If biologists can be
trusted, at the time the little animals,
whose remains arc thus preserved, were
living, the only portion Of this continent
which had appeared above the primeyal
ocean, was a strip Of land along the present
St. Lawrence river and the northern shores
Of the Great Lakes, with promOntOry
reaching out toward the Adirondack. and
a few islands along what is now the Atlantic
coast line - bennington Banner.
