Abstract
The Silurian Gasport dolomite member was
studied in the Hamilton area. In spite of the mask
ing effect of dolomitization, the stratigraphic re
lations and results of petrographic and sedimentalogi-
cal examination suggest that the depositional locus
was that of a shelf or bank.
A thin layer of jarosite was observed;
further study may show this layer to have important
stratigraphic time value.
