Drone gellrock regular bedded li. 4"
Bluish nodular li, with some shale 12"
Or muddy
Impure gellrock regular bedded li. 20"
Irregular bedded then li with much shale,
clothes
The deposit of most of the fossils, 36"
Irregular bedded crinoid and crystalline li.
Becoming very and more heavy bedded downward.
Or shale, Fossils throughout but most come
from near the center. About 8 fat.
Contact with Richmondia not shown in the
quarry, but a little down the road it may be seen. Contact
by slope for direct parallels.
The white is a shallow water deposit and
shows more action than that. The fossils are
almost rolled and the shells separates
valves. The sea became shallower towards
the close, seen in the shale horizon followed
by the muddy limestones.
