brecciated Coniferous is about
8 feet thick and the finer
grained rock below [illegible] 3 feet
thick.
East of K.L. Tanners house,
2 miles west of the cut, the Con-
iferous rests upon the Mad-
isim. The only light thin
conicle is better exposed 1
miles northward along the rail-
road when it has some
resemblance to the lower
Coniferous at Duffins
cut.
229 On the road following
Green River valley south
of the river about 24 miles
west of the railroad is
Arch Austin's house. A
good exposure occurs in a
gully west of the house.
The Black Shale overlies
the Coniferous at 989. The
Coniferous is dark brown
and is brecciated. Its to-
tal thickness can not ex-
ceed 16 inches. It rests di-
rectly on typical Madison
Strike N 60-70 E, dip 10-20 S.
Contains calcite veins.

128 A short distance after
making a bend in the road
west of Austins, the Black
Shale rests on the Coniferous
at 989. The Conifer is dark
brown, brecciated and about
16 inches thick. It rests direct-
ly on Madison beds. The
dip is S then nearly level.
The Madison is about
20-25 feet thick at least.
The total section not seen.
215 From the road to Middleburg
about 1/2 miles NE of Mid-
dlebury and 1 mile SW of
the house of Ellis Pickles,
a road turns southward.
Northwest of the road corner
is a steep hill side, and
up the nearer angle ap-
parently runs a fault
plane between the Black
Shale and the Inner Silu-
nian rocks. These are
Madison below followed
by Murchison beds a
few feet above. At this line of the
fault the Black Shale
strikes N 45 E, and dips
east.
2 1/2 mi. E of Lincoln Co.
