86
Less than half a mile east-
ward, just east of North
Forke, 18 feet of the Lower
Os good clay shale are ex-
pired. The total section
is not exposed.
87
Two fifth of a mile east-
ward the Black shale
rests in the Coniferous
at (923 - I forgot to take
a reference point.) The
Coniferous is less than
2 feet thick.
88
Half a mile south of New
Hope, the Lower Os good
clay is seen to be at least
22 feet thick. The total
thickness may be 25 feet.
The Chintm is of the
Bardstown type. Chest
is found at all levels:
small amount. A fairly
heavy (3 in ch) chest bed
about 5 feet below the Os-
good shale contains
fossils on its upper sur-
face.
The following is the list:
Illaenus ambiguus, pen.
Platy stroma Magareuse
Arthis flabella
Arthis elegantula
Arthis biforata
Plectambonites, elegantula
Strephomena refulvida,
Strephomena Hanoverensis.
Streptorama calycula.
Favrites fassus, medium
Stromatopora concentrica.
A single specimen of Plec-
tambonites elegantula was
found in the Lynest Clinton
layer. The Chintm is a
grey-blue silicene rock.
Tetradinum occurs quite
abundantly in the 3 feet of
Lower Silurian rock im-
mediately underlying
the Chintm. The typical
Madison rock is found
immediately beneath.
The trip of the Lower Si-
lurian is at (856 - I for-
got to take a reference
point.)
