the top, Atrypa reticularis is found.
The Ozgood limestone is well
exposed north of the Whaleridge
on the north side of the railroad.
It total thickness is 7 feet
8 inches, and consists of a drab
colored limestone, parts of it
not very well bedded. About
3 feet 8 inches above the base,
at the most northern part of
the exposure, rather large
specimens of Atrypa reticu-
laris are rather common.
At the junction with the Lower
Ozgood shale was found the
crude flat Streptelasma?
or
common in the Ozgood lime-
stone near Ozgood Indiana
and elsewhere, also Strephm.
cera plumbridalis and Atry-
pa reticularis.
The Upper Ozgood shale con-
sists of 3 feet of blue clayey clay,
with thin limestone layers
intercalated, with the clay
and the thin limestone con-
taining fossils.
Orthis eleg antula, small
Rhyrchamella, 2 raised plica,
times, 1 in depression Indiana?
Atrypa reticularis
Streptelasma cancellum? found.
cont
Orthis flabella with rather num-
erous plicatus, Strephlasmna
plumbridalis, rather small
Spifer Viragensis? collected,
and Spifer rizza small
also occur in the Upper Ozgood
shale, where it is thrown out
when the R. R. embankment
Near the top Orthis divity a
medium size, branching form,
atropoid shell, with sinuous and
fold in front collected; very
at the top in an locality
south of the bridge, friends
of small size are common.
Near Whaler's farm the lower
2 feet of the Laurel limestone
are regularly stratified
and contain Ostrea
accumulum. Above this the
exposure continues for 24
feet, parts being very curiosi
dul. In places it weathers
in a curious manner and
is known as the Cliff rock.
In the next rail road cut down
south of Whalers, the land ind
indicating total thickness
of 35 feet Laurel limestone
and at the spring south.
