"Williams has the drill rents of 3 miles "day on Granitroin for petroleum! Top of the "orles are just to the northwst of Granitr- "raning the other one is ten mils farther "northwest. These orils show the Clinton- "grind Haed shale above the Trenton Tr the "here but 20 to 2.2 foot thick, followed "by the Hudson River I not less than "435 feet. All of the drills began in the "Richmond just belor the "Clinton" "Bell gives the Otica as 60 feet thick. Bell Hudson River has 250 feet. "Bell also states that overlying the "Clinton" "there is always 27 feet of red marl. So far "Williams has not found these red beds! "They must occur somewhere as stated "by Bell and as Williams does not find "them where he has studied these contacts "this probably means there is a break in "the section here. If this is proven it "will be a point of much palaeogeographic "importance.
