The Bradford shelt consists in the main of thin beds (1-4 inches) of dark blue hard flinty very fine sandstone that creathen somewhat like shale separated by very thin bands of black shale. It is here a totally different looking shelt in color from that seen south of Duffryn. The contact of the Lycamne on the Bradford is not exposed. The Lycamne is a very fine grained sandstone that creathens yellowish. On the Lycamne passing without break rests the Carey shale and it seems to form the base of this cycle of deposition. Near Bradford Mr. Seldotm says the "Drapa-nucheli" comes in but above the sandstone at the base of the Pennsylvania a Carey. See his blue prints for exact horizon.
