One full mile overlying the beds of dolomite. Forms are
in the Beekmantown until 1200 feet above this contact. Whether these are
the = of Brainerd - Kelep A and B is unknown,
One half mile north of Phillipsburg there is a large marble
quarry in the Lower Beekmantown. About 30 feet of this down
is here shown, and are a whitish mottled limestone. Have
taken four samples. Logan gives this same as 100 feet.
There are about 200 feet more of Beekmantown.
Going north from St. Germain to Bedford one remains
in the western and but little disturbed southern sheet of
the Beekmantown. The dips are always low, from 10 to 45
depths. About 2 miles north of St. Germain got some
overlying dipping Beekmantown = Carolina
Rafinesque just before getting into Bedford the beds
limestone steepers almost to vertical, and when get to the
first houses one are in dark blue shale with an occasional
carboniferous limestone.
In Bedford at the falls of the "Pike" river
there much shale that looks like the familiar Hight-
gate slate. 20 min stream a short distance may be
seen a limestone conglomerate. The pieces are flat as a
rule and may well have come from the Upper Milton.
Evidently then the Champlain fault of Keith passes
through the western side of Bedford. Everywhere to the
north and east the outcropping are of shale. There are
in Logan section zone D and C2 = 2970 feet thick
