A short distance east of
Dorset station, 3 ft 8 in of
dark clay pure clints were
like the Clinton - since the
good shale about 3 feet
of Coniferous original
grey limestone with Delato-

A quarter of a mile west
of Dorset where the dirt
road begins to run par-
allel to the railroad and
across the way presses
under the railroad and
down a moderately eroded
feet of a field. The Clints
is 15 feet thick. No typi-
cal Coniferous is seen
overlying it, 12 in of a
hard rem-fossiliferous
dark brown rock are re-
ferred to the Clinton Corif-
erous but this is doubtful.
It may be the equivalent
of the dark limestone at
the base of the Devonian at
Duffness cut. The Black Shale
lies immediately above.

There was a stringy S dip.
The following fossils occur
in the Clints within 5 feet
of the top:
Ortho. platella
Ortho. liprata
Strophomena striata?
Favrites formosa medium
