This contact in x the station Lehigh Gap on N.J. Central.
The Salina series is bearing bedded and without shale
while the Medina is thinner bedded with silky sandy
shales like those at Ottoville. The Salina base should
lay at the bottom of the thickest sandstone here about 10
feet thick. Below this the thin bedded sandstone are
cheek and the whole is a series of greenish fine and
course bedded sandstone with many interbedded thin sand
shales like those of Little Penn. During 1897 which
shale goes with the silky luster. This is undoubtedly the Upper
N.J. Central.
Opposite the station the series is rather a shale series
with the very thin beds of sandstone. A greenish shale. At
the road corner there is bearing bedded sandstone and below
red sandy shales like those at Ottoville.
Going up higher on the N.W. side there is a new railway
the Chestnut Ridge R.R. and here one sees almost the top
from the north
of the Medina series. Before one comes upon the sandstones,
there is seen much red shales lying around or that the Salina
is not far away. Then for the line I straddle takes me out
to my near the Lehigh Station of the N.J. Central.
The series here begins with light green shales (correlation to the
Mediana
silica galls) and red sandy shales interbedded with
