"They are regular limestone, crinoidal and if at blue clay. 3 feet thick. These beds have many joints, but I could make out none. Here one byssus, 1 crinoid, and whitfieldella and platystrophia and 6 or 7 plicatulae in series. Clinton Shales. Sharply and almost without trans- sition follows below, dark greenish smooth hard shale that splits out of linterly. About 4 1/2 feet thick. Ours no joints. Partally is to be regarded as if Clinton age. Medina sandstone. Sharply beneath the above shales [white] appears a bed of sandstone that may run beneath into a local lensy of shale or maybe are then bedded the hard at once in 2 1/4 to 12 inches sandstone, then follows regular thin greyish bedded "Gray Bone" Medina sandstones. Thickness 7 to 8 feet, then is a half. Then appears green and red shales, and sandstone decidually very bedded, channelled, with some of the beds of the bedding structure appearing as strips of the shale at the folloing structures. See the pits of the page. The sandstones at the top tend to be mottled and below are all red. At the top sandstone predominate, then alternation of thin beds of sandstones with shale and finally once shale with occasional bands of sandstone. Dan Archiphysus
