Clarion S.S. 4'3" 17' 12'9" Dark blue-black carbonaceous shale, local slatery streaks (interval from 7' to 13'-no recovery but no indication of change in lithology, this could have been some coal.) Clarion SH. 17' 18'10"? 20"? Coal (may be more than 20 inches as some core loss.) A coal 18'10"? 34' 15'2" Sandstone, clark to light gray, medium (locally fine) grained micaceous. some coaly streaks and fine grained layers in lower 8 feet. Homewood S.S. 34' 34'5" 5" Shaley coal + slate Coal horizon 34'5" 42'5" 8' Shale, gray to black, silty, in upper part, more carbonaceous in lower with plant fragments. slate 42'5" 42'10" 5" Coaly shale and slate Coal horizon 42/10 [crossed out] 44'1" 10" Soft gray clay shale, plant fragments. Maner 44'1" [illegible] 49'7" 5'6" Hard clay as follows: - 7" Dark gray 'top' block 15" Gray flinty block with scattered chert nodules and some siderite. clay 9" Nodule clay, sideritic 25" Block, sideritic scattered nodules in upper half.
