Sorry from the last local-
ity about a mile north-
ward, soon after enter-
ing Welen County the
road to Bleanings turns
sharply towards the south-
west. A little on a mile
further beyond a small
stream, the base of the Black
Shale is seen at 865. It is un-
derlaid by about 5 inches of
grey crinoidal Corniferous
and this in turn by 5 ft 6 in.
of Laurel Limestone.

Half a mile further, after
considerable turning and
crossing over Rolling Fork,
the little town Bleanings,
is reached. Two miles-
southwest of Bleanings,
first after recrossing
Rolling Fork towards the
north a large exposure is
seen along a road leading
to a mill. Just before reach-
ing Bleanings, the base of
the Black Shale is exposed
at 855. Below it are 4 inches
of grey crinoidal Cornif-
erous, 7 feet of Laurel Lime.

Two miles southwest of
Bleanings, just after recross-
ing Rolling Fork towards
the north, a mill is seen
west of the Fork. South of the
mill is a fine exposure. The
trp of the Clinton is exposed
at 837. find the base of the
Black shale at 866. The
Clinton is 6 ft 2 in. thick.
The Ozgard beds are 2.6 ft 6 in.
thick. No Ozgard limestone
can be differentiated. Its
luprizon may have been higher.
The grey crinoidal Cornif.
crews is 0 20 in. thick at the
north end of the exposure,
Near the southern end it was
not seen at all, although
This may have been due to
removal by percolating wa-
ters. Above the Corniferous
is the Black Shale.
There is a strong dip south-
wards = 5 1/2 ft in 49 steps.
