The Black shale rests direct
ly in the Clinton. The Clin-
ton is only 8 inches thick.
In the Lime Silurian directly
beneath, Columnaria was
found. In the Clinton or

on the way to Raywick is
a toll gate, half a mile
and a half south of St. Marys.
Nearly two miles westward,
a road turns off to the left,
and a short distance fur-
ther on the Raywick pike
the top of the Lower Silu-
nion is seen at 938.
The Upper part of the Lower
Silurian is difficult to dis-
tinguish from the Clinton
but it does not cut dire-
ctly. On the contrary masses
of crystalline calcite are not
in carbon and some of them
seem to have replaced Tetra-
dinum specimens. See S.L.
Directly in the Black Shale lie
2 ft 8 inches of Columnaria.
The lower grey crinoidal
Coniferous is 2 ft thick.
