There can be no doubt of there being an 8 foot shale gone towards
an upper member of the Berecrafts, at first I thought this must be
the Romney but while the shale resembles it yet it is sandy and
much slotted sided which is not the case with the Romney.
The upper 14 feet of ammonaceous limestone is just like this
below the shale gone and are these limestones are marked by
Spinifera concentricus. There is 5 feet of Oolite clay on top.
The Romney near its base has received flint nodules
just like those of the limestone much farther down, and
due there are local indurated beds. These shales have
immense numbers of Styliolina.
From here E to mile post 287 F.M. there are
second exposures of the Berecrafts, the flinty quarzite,
thelower Berecrafts just gone and a shale gone which may
be the Beddles or lower. There seem to be two
small horst articles.
Just a little W 1 mile post 288 F.M. is exposure
or rather the higher slaty Oolite Portland group
the lower Berecrafts just gone, records the fossils collected else
where further down in the Pennudonic aquifer district. On the road
