"[Illegible]" Combined with the [Mananutt] results it runs up into the Zouaire. About 3 miles west of Martinsburg limestone appears again. Its lithological aspect indicates it to be the same series that undulates the Martinsburg near the city. If this is true the Martinsburg lies in a syncline and its thickness is probably that given by Keith 700-1000 feet. Martinsburg to North Mt. July 14th - 1907 Just west of Turn the heavy bedded white O. appears dipping a little south of east, about 30° seem to have begun and Geocimus. A 1/2 mile further once heavy bedded but in regular beds of dolomite with the same dip at 20°. At the first block turn out of Martinsburg about 1 1/2-2 miles out the dip is about 20° to the south. Less than 1/8 mile it is 72° E. There overbed bed continues for 1/2 mile where other we see nearly vertical beds (90°) of carbonate little limestone. In these dips cracks are common and are well seen cracked surface with the erosions. Filled with carbonite depose or even an impure celestite. On a duplication of the conditions we is the waterline at Piedmont.
