Oldham County.
Pee wee Valley vicinity
17
5 About 2 miles east of Pee wee
Valley is Floydshurg. Half way
between Floydshurg and Rod-
man's Fork on the road to Todd's
Point, on the south side of the
road, is the Alexander Sim-
clair farm. The exposures are
in an open field and prom-
ise but little as seen from
the road but the following
very interesting section
was made out.
The Clinton is 8½ inches thick.
It varies from coarsely crino-
idal and dark blue brown
color to a finer grained
light red rock. The latter
phase of the rock is siliceous,
and is more common. On
weathering it turns to a dirty
fine grained siliceous rock
leaving a less calcareous ap-
pearance. Similar varieties
were seen at Points in Clark
county, Indiana. The fossils
found are: Strophomena rhena-
bivalvis, Orthus flabella, Atropka
marginalis, Hamuntype
Cruziana, Segellia fe, Favosites
Niagaraensis, Holopezites catenulatus.
