Archeater shale. The horizon at which the fossils
come in along with the fine lymne slate is about 20
feet below the Trenton limestone. This zone is about
3 feet thick, in which the thin lie around. They occur
both in thinnings and wider separating lines.

or that the prolificuous Archeater shale embraces all
of the lower 20 fathoms.
Clinton limestone. The change from the Archeater
shale to the solid, hard and highly prolificuous limestone
usually
occuring in 1 to 2 inches, just as we
can see at Brinny. Then below the Clinton li.
is famous prolificous. The species are those of the
Archeater shale except that I did not see D. micfarsonii.
The lower bed of Clinton has a tendency in the upper 30
inches of splitting up into beds, thinner beds, but in reality does
does not. There are zones of stylolites and small cavities
thickens about 8 to 10 feet.
Below are thinner bedded greish magnesian
limestone in beds 2 to 14 inches but in general 4 to 6 more,
those appear the derived of fossils, thickness 8 to 9 feet.
Below are once thin beds, many in definition, about
