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 Curi Orthus flabella. Favrites Magarenetyp; Streptelasma calcicle “ “ Daytance The top of the L.S. is at (1060. No reference point was taken) 124 Northeast of Raywick, where the Chicago-Raywick- and the Raywick-Leba- nun pikes come together the top of the L.S. is seen at (975 - No reference point was taken.) Marion - Nelson Counties 85 Lebanon to Raywick to New Haven. 2nd Trip. Pate - Lebanon, 1000. 1000 1. One mile south of St. Marys. 945 LS87 Top of Lower Silurian 945. 131 About 6 miles from Lebanon 938 LS 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.
