The dark frame Coniferous
above is [illegible] thick. The
Black Shale rests on top.

920
LS
Two thirds of a mile west-
ward, on and open hill side
north of the road, the top
of the Lower Silurian is
been at 920. Columnarform
is seen near the top of the
Lower Silurian. The Macki-
aw beds occur below.
Directly above the same
Silurian are 12 inches of
brown crinoidal Coniferous
rock, with few crinoidal
remains. Above this lie
the black shale.

LS
Two thirds of a mile west-
ward, a road turns off
and towards the north. On the
hills towards the northeast
down the road corners. The top
of the Lower Silurian was
seen at 912. No Conifer-
ous was in evidence, but
it may once have been
there. This was one Clin-
ton lie as is shown by a
moderate amount of
87
Clinton chest, but its thick-
ess could never have been
great. The Black shale
at present rests directly on
the same Silurian.

890
LS
Nearly a mile westward
is the Cherry Run graces
store. A small tire turn
crosses the road, coming
from the north. The top
of the Lower Silurian was
seen at 890. It was cov-
ered by 3 feet of Conifer-
ous, and this in turn
by Black Shale.

890
LS
A short distance south
westward, just before the
road turns sharply away
from Cherry Run, the top
of the Lower Silurian is
exposed at 890. Six feet
of Clinton are exposed.
3 ft 2 in. are not exposed
but may probably once have
been by lower bedrock shale.
This is overlaid by 2 ft 6 in
of Coniferous rock. The
lower 22 inches consists of
grey Coniferous limestone.
