Above the canal level we sees about 6 feet of thin
bedded red sandy shale and sandstone, mostly the latter.
About 2 feet below the top occurs the A. archimedes layer
(Coprolites) in three beds, together though 18 to 24

The same beds are seen again at the tops of the
quarry on the N. W. side of Medina at the Falls, between
