5/17/95 24B upper part ? scales fm about 5'/E = 1 scales fm on railroad cut. photo 1-3/w on RR tracks & 18'+w photo from top (edge of road) looking down on 2 R cut Lilly shale, lt grayish gray in 2 to 3" beds and regularly interbedded with Siltstone, very shely in 2 to 4" beds. - There are at least 22 cycles of these two lithologies regularly repeated through about 14' of exposure above debria that covers base of cut, i.e. about 8 to 9' i.e. not seen at base of cut above railway level. Some surfaces have fragments (1/4") of organic material (something like a flattin grass" flatter) Worm burrows in Siltstone facies? Jilbete frags (? Isotites ?) limmy slightly limy (limy?) bed about 4' down from top of exposure with gray appearance on one surface (? top surface) 1/2" ripples crests about 2 ind. modules in some places. Bands of pyrite modules in some beds - Question (?) Could the upper part of this railroad cut be as high as NW Illinois facies of H. Atchinson ? 3 facies atchinson Could the 22 cycles (or thereabouts) correlate with the cyclicity in the Cincinnati area.
