of Burgess of Ohio, at the
very base of this limestone
is a fine shaly limestone
cut containing Bryozoa of
various genera, similar to
the Waldron types. The
dolomitic limestone is just
by what I have called the
Lewerville limestone else-
where.
48 cont at the bridge east of Bardstown, the clay shale with
Tetradium graduates down-
ward into a harder gma,
sive clay rock. The thick-
ess of the sifter and is 3 ft
10 inches, and the harder
rock below is 7 feet thick.
The harder rock is the
equivalent of the Waldin-
sun rock. Similar hard
clayey rocks occur at still
lower levels
50 This is best seen 2 miles
west of Bardstown, west of
the bridge, where the total
thickness of the Waldstein is
seen to be about 11 feet.
Including the rock beneath
the thin shaly limestone,
first below the Tetradium
15
horizon, the total thickness
would be 15 feet.
Immediately below this level
are 23 feet of thin, very fossiliferous limestone, the Richmond
limestone beds, cut carrying a
great variety of fossils. From
13 feet down to 16 feet below
the top of this Richmond series,
colummaria is very com-
mon, forming often large
bundles. Beatricea occurs as-
cordially.
6 feet are not exposed. The
6 feet below this are exposed
in the creek bed, and con-
sist of hard, blue, almost
unfossiliferous, clay limestone.
