Belvidere, Ill., Thursday, Sept. 10 - 1914. Left at 10.29 on the C.P.R., arriving at 10.55. Stopping at Delaware House. Starting out south along the Iron Turnpike, one is in the Salina here. Several creels in the syncline here. It consists of zones of red sandy shales from 2 foot to others of 7 to 20 feet separated by zones of sandstones from 2 to 6 feet. Here are [illegible] zones of green shales. At my returns I see some impure lime- stone, not exactly a marlstone, one of which had a considerable quantity of cornishware broken in diameters from 1 to 5 inches; I thought like those have seen in the Charlus. Going along farther I see that the Salina is best de- scribed as a series of red shales with many lenses of and impure red sandstones green coarse decided can hide out sandstones. These lenses are of short distances across and at times cut occasionally are very long, they are cutting quite far, deeply into the red shales & It looks like streams more cutly clear and into the sandstone. The red shales are usually slaty due to pressure and a few many have zones of vesicular ver- tical dikes - caliche pipes of some dry climate, due to the character than any thing of the medium. capillary of the water. This is more of a Salina.
