2 1/8 miles East of Berlin
a little North of the road
among some Cedar trees
East of the gully East of Blan-

erous rests on the Louis-
vile limestone. The Cor-
niferous is 8 feet thick, and
the Black Shale rests im-
mediately above. This is
the finest Corniferous section.

Two miles farther, the Nel-
sonville road crosses Beech
Fork, just before reaching
Beech Fork, a road turns
off Eastward, and after
passing through two gates,
reaches an exposure a
mile East of the Nelson-
ville-Berlin road. The
exposure lies West of Mrs.
Edie Rogers house, west a
creek valley separating the
two. The oolitic layer at
the top of the Sandstone
stone is found at 753. It
is 2 feet thick. The red
sandstone is 13 feet thick.
