PERRY..... WEST-TUBCO

Along the highway and to the southwest in 9:1:1, 9:1:4,
and 8:5:5 are frequent exposures of the Perry shales and conglomerates.
The conglomerate occurs in only one outcrop (outcrop 1)
along the road forming the 40-foot knoll in n. 9:1:4. To the
west and southwest, the elongate 60-foot knoll in w. central
9:1:4 and the little knoll near the margin are both composed of
red shales rising abruptly out of a flat of Pleistocene clay.
The red shales eg. in outcrop (outcrop 4) on both sides
of the road at the 40-ft. contour on the east edge of 8:5:5, and
reappear (outcrop 5) forming the 40-ft. knoll in s.w. 8:5:5.
RELATIONS - south of outcrop 1, there occurs a thick
diabase dike trending N 65-70 degrees east, and which may be
traced westerly for a mile or more into the diabase mass forming
the 100-ft. hill in 8:5:8, and also occurring easterly on the
road in n.-central 9:1:5. This diabase mass is not immediately
associated with the jerry but intrudes some black shales which
outcrop between it and the jerry in the barnyard west of the
house of Tr.----- in s.e. 9:1:4. These shales probably occupy
the depression which may be followed to the east, lying between
the trap on the south and the jerry on the north, south of it
trap mass occurs some rhoyolite. This is gray in color where it
outcrops in the road south of the creek on the east edge of 9:1:28
4.; and it is better exposed in the hillside 150 yards, more or
less, southwest of the house. In northeastern 8:5:8, the rhy-
