"this limestone at low tide some of the men
into pretty or rather as a tuff and grit is in
a way. That in light ashes fell from time to time
but not enough to destroy the life and or
some corals (chiffy) and a few hook-jords (chiff
I chntridali's) lived through it are.
Then
came the great volcanic eruption of apophyan
2 first an aggregate of ashes, lapilli
and bombs going over into pillar lavas.
On the top is again a tuff bed that may
include some corals and other fossils. Filled
holes there are almost completely filled but
most of the geologists said they were amygdulose.
Again the extended igneous surface is
uneven and one or less the tops 1-7 with
a total thickness of at least 178 feet. The very
basal beds have much crinoidal material
with an abundance of corals and hackio-
jores.
Then a coral zone.
Apophyan / of lava beds.
