142 At the dam south east of
the mill near New Market
the Black Shale rests on
the Coniferous at 860. The
Coniferous is 3 feet thick
and rests directly on the
Madison. 6 ft of the Mad-
ison are exposed at the dam,
but owing to a western dip,
the LS things out and dis-
appears by the time the west-
erm end of the exposures is
reached. Computing 9+10
the synclinal axis must
be south of 9.
135 About a mile east of the
junction of Stewart's creek
with Rolling Fork, the base
of the Black Shale is seen
at 875, just west of a small
stream.
136 An eighth of a mile down
this stream, the top of the Black
Shale is at 857. There is (tiny)
northern dip. The Conifer-
ous is: 9 feet thick. It rests
directly on very typical Mad.-
ison rock in the highest layer.

4 inches thick- showing fossils-
handing tryzons.
137 Two miles east of the junc-
tion of Stewart's creek with
Rolling Fork a spike starts
northeastward to Lebanon.
At the road corners there is
a southern dip. A little
over a mile northeast along
this road the Black Shale
rests on the Coniferous at
900. The Coniferous is nearly
10 feet thick.
138 Further along, where the stream
flows on the eastern side of
the road before going to the
western side a bed with
Columnaria and Beatrice
modulata is found imme-
diately beneath the Conif-
erous but further south,
where the stream returns to
the eastern side of the road
this bed is found fully 6-
8 feet below the Coniferous.
This is due to an unseen
furnity. The large Silur-
