many small irregularities from 6 to 8"
deep, averaging 1 to 3" deep. At the con-
tact the old shales have been changed for
from 1 to 4" into a green shale due to the
percolating action of the sandstone. A good
view of the underside of the sandstone shows
a decided humpy crescently ridged
caracter = the old plucked surface on
which the lead spread. The lower 2 feet
of the sandstone is covered with hori-
zontal circular holes less than 1/4
inch in diameter. They are undoubtedly
marine worm channels, and remind of
Sedgwick's tubes but are not vertical as they are
in this genus.
Just around the bend of the trolley line
is another fine contact exposure. Here
can be seen irregularities - a round
of shale probably 30 inches deep over which
the sandstone has formed. This is the
feature irregularity of the contact seen. As
a rule the contact is abrupt and vertical.
