I think it best to regard the Cement-Rockstar
the test contacts. The upper line is as much little
other lines that nothing positive can be made
of it. The lower one certainly brings in a tremendous
clearness, a sharp contact, and always a
line easily recognized in good exposures. The
[illegible]
upper one will be more easily found in
ordinary exposures.
From the formation standpoint it is
more practicable to begin the Lockport above the
cement beds, but in structural grounds the
evidence is in favor of placing the line
at the base of the cement series. If a
break in deposition occurred, then the
gravel began with the cement series and
these can be added to the Lockport for-
imation.
