Wea. TUES. MAY 11, 1909 Ther.
Rained hard during the night and it threates to rain once during most of the morning. Towards noon began to clean up some.
West of St. Albans at forks of road. Here the top of Grinorossi shims on lower ledge and above from 30 to 40 [illegible]
some Mallett doe. in massive beds. Partita over much more of older Grinorossi comes in.
All of the lower ground? parton xv. has light Hue Reedmantram in which one sees from forks. It is low down in the Reedmantrum
On the north fring county road at the first house to east of road low hills of a schistose marble and directly soufying of the Grinorossi. No actual contact between them is expressed. The Grinorossi has been thrustted far to east on the Beckmantram and has made it schistose.
There is a new quarry opening in the Grinorossi marble and it shows a dip of about 9 degrees to the S.E. They have [about 204yds] to strip off a great deal of material to get into first run weathered shale and then an immense bed colored red. It does as a lower limit to this colored Grinorossi. The horizon is fairly wide up in Grinorossi. Above the red the beds are light blue.
The Mallett comes in from 20-30 feet above the Grinorossi quarry and apparently quite quickly by the new bottom song beneath more base and introducing the fractured sandstone.
