A short distance westward,
at a fork in the road, turn
away from the Rolling
Fork, and go about 200--
yds. Here the upper part
of the Ozgood beds are ex-
pored, at the edge of the woods.
The Lower Ozgood clay is
calculated to be about
44 feet thick. The Ozgood
limestone judging from
the next locality is 1½ ft,
thick and the Upper Oz-
good shale is 1ft 6in thick.
The Laurel limestone
here is 9 ft 2 in. thick
and is directly overlaid
by Black Shale, nor Crn-
ciferus being visible.

About half a mile further
less, a high bluff partly
concealed by the woods,
shows the Black Shale-
Cruciferous contact at 890.
Nor Cruciferous is exposed.
The Laurel limestone here
is 16 feet thick. The Upper
Ozgood clay is 1ft 6 in thick
and the Ozgood limestone
is 1 ft 8 in thick.

The top of the Lower Silurian
is estimated at 835

840.
A quarter of a mile further
the road crosses Rolling
Fork, and a little over a
mile westward connects
with another road. In the
south east angle of the road
the bottom of the Black Shale
is seen at 875. Nor Cruf.
nous is exposed. The Lau-
rel limestone is 4 ft 8 in.
thick. The Upper Ozgood clay
is 2 ft 4 in. thick. The Os-
good limestone is 1-1½ feet
t thick. The top of the Lower
Silurian is calculated at
840 feet.
A little over a mile and a
half, northwestward, a short
distance after crossing
Rolling Fork westwards the
north, the bottom of the
Black Shale is seen at
875. Nor Cruciferous is 2m
The Laurel limestone are is
7 ft 6 in thick. The top of the
Lower Silurian is calculated
to be about 840.
