Limehouse, August 21-1912. Red.
Left Collingwood at 6.30 A.M. and got
to Georgetown at 10.05. It is raining as
I leave Collingwood. No rain 30 miles to
the southward.
At Terra Cotta 5 1/2 miles to the north
of Georgetown the top of the Georgetown is
widely exposed. Here the brick-red shales
are burnt for hill and drainage tiles. It's all
red shales with an occasional green shale
a few inches thick some of which appear to have
very thin limestone nearbottoms and may hold
fossils. One sees here at least 100 feet of
these red shales.
To the southward about one to 2 miles on
the hill top about 100 feet over the railway
is quarried the thin bedded "Clinton limestone".
It's evident the Limehouse exposures,
At Limehouse I saw that these few feet of them
bedded li. are the introductory strata to the
Shajana.
