The road from the Mill
follows nearly the eastern
side of Rolling Fork to Ham
gland Farm, 9 miles from New
Haven. About 4 miles from
New Haven, near Trace
Creek the Black Shale rests
in the Laurel limestone
at 805.
About a mile southward,
where the road runs closely
along Rolling Fork, a high
drift east of the road shows
the tip of the Cuyond shale
at 810. The Laurel lime-
stone is at least 20 feet
thick. The Black Shale
level is therefore about 830
here, and the dip is south-
ward.
A little over a mile north-
east of New Haven just south
of Day's Run, the base of the
Black Shale is exposed at
835. The Black Shale rests
in the Laurel limestone, and
the base of the Laurel lime-
stone is seen at 810.
(New Haven to Balltown.)97
A little over 3 miles east
of New Haven, south of
Price's Creek, the base of the
Black Shale is seen at 853.
It overlies the Laurel lime-
stone.
North of Price's Creek, the base
of the Black Shale is seen
at 863. It overlies 2 ft.
8 inches of Coniferous. The
upper 8 inches are dark
brown. The lower 2 feet are
a grey crinoidal limestone
and contain good crinoids. The
Laurel is found unnamed
slightly beneath.
A little over 2 1/2 miles
north east of New Haven, a
short distance beyond the
junction of the New Haven
with the Bethlem and road
to Balltown, the base of
the Black Shale is exposed
at 930. No Coniferous was
seen. The base of the Laurel
limestone was seen at 922
quite a distance southward,
the fault being northward.
