Photo AMO 12-53 10. Mozart #3 mine, Upper Freeport coal. 11. Seeps, may indicate Brush Creek coal horizon but no direct evidence. 12. Knot underlain by shales & sandy shales weathering to much ferruginous concretion & shale. Bench at base may indicate position of a coal. No good exposures of the unweathered shale, no limestone or fossils found. 13. Slope below bench mentioned in 12. Basal half as shown chiefly full of float of thin-bedded sandstone (Lower Molsonian probably.) Spring and other seeps along bench at foot of slope in vicinity of old farmhouse foundations may indicate trace of Upper Freeport Coal. Louis Mozart claims heading from Mozart #3 mine came out in field near this farmhouse but no evidence was found of such an opening. 14. Probable position of Upper Bakerstown coal. No crop in roadway but wet- weather seeps locally present. 15. Lodge of massive mud- to coarse-grained SS. Just to east at intersection of mountain road and road to abandoned farm there is much fine fragmented flint AMO-12-53
