Reading - Port Clinton, Sep. 13-1914
Left Hatter by trolley for Allentown (1 hour) and then in Reading (3 hours). At 3 P.M. in Phil. and Ready for Port Clinton at 4 P.M.
Just at the ragon bridge on the Little Schuylkill
the red Talina shale and interbedded sandstone stand
This is beside the Champ Kivhand of the P. & R. R.R.
vertical. Then is again the Clinton of the Penn. bury,
and said to be over 2600 ft. thick most of it not seen
from one to most side of the larger Schuylkill
and the cut of the Phil.-Reading is about 1000 feet
but after the Trachoma once he here does not know, Beside
the larger Schuylkill
on the P. & R. R.R. one sees the same shale series
and sandstone series of the Upper Medina seen
yesterday at the Lehigh Gap. There are 2 faults here,
On the Penn. R. R. above the Phil. R. R.R. the
decline shows even better and the fault comes out
plainer. Probably what one sees here are the
upper Medina sandstone go for thick, if or
they have as their base gneiss of red shale just
I saw yesterday, However these red beds here are
then just under the sandstone while yesterday they
first appeared 150 feet lower down. As I said.
