(Holy Cross Church to Sorelto)
(83) - About a mile southward
from the junction with
the N+5 road, a stream
crossing the road shows
the base of the Black shale
at 1000. It overlies about
2 feet of the dark brown
fine grained Devonian and
this lies on at least 1-2
feet of grey grunidal Ca-
neiferous. There may have
been more. The Squire
limestone occurs beneath.
(102) - A short distance north of
the Holy Cross Church, the
road crosses a stream.
The following section can
be made out on going west-
ward down the stream.
The top of Black Shale
at its junction with the
Sub carboniferous is found
at 1030. The top of the An-
sel, beneath the Black
Shale is seen at 979. The
Upper Oegord shale is 2 feet
thick. The Sarel limestone
is 3 feet thick. The Upper Os-
gord shale is 2 ft., the Oegord
limestone is 22 inches, the Spur
Oegord shale is below. For thick-
ess see next section.
(103) - Along the road south east of
Holy Cross Church, the Sarel
Oegord shale is 38 feet thick.
The thickness of the Chlinton can
not be determined, although
Chlint with Chlinton fossils is
seen in the soil. The thick-
ess can not exceed 11 feet
and may be much less.
(104) - A little over 3 miles south
east of Holy Cross Church on
the road to Sorelto, the top of
the Ollernarian bed is seen
at 920. The top of the Lyeany
stone at the top of the First
Silurian is seen at 1008.
Chlint or Chlint fragments or
clay above this str level,
but the thickness is not known.
(105) - A mile eastward, the road
joining the Mautar Sorelto
pike, near a church. Two-
thirds of a mile southward
and about the same dis-
tance north of Sorello.
