11. RR cut 2 mi. S. of White's Station.
Black shale.
3 in. Dev. blue argillaceous gritty limestone with fish teeth.
3 ft. limestone with shaly partings.
10 in. blue shale.
7 ft. 6 in. limestone with shaly partings.
2 ft. 8 in. blue shale,
1 ft 4 in. more solid layer with
Orinid leads + Mint fields.
3 ft. limestone with shaly partings.
12ft. 6 in. Base of upper beds with
only a few large crinoid
leads, landing dry from to
3 ft. more fluid limestone with
shaly partings.
4 ft 4 in. massive layer at base.
Madison beds, only 2 feet exposed
near RR, more in field NE of
RR cut.
Dip of rock is southward, hence
Madison appears in field above
the level of base of Clinton in RR cut.
277. On Kingston and Boone Gap
Turnpike. Berea 1000 ft.
Base of Black shale 952 feet above.
1 mile N. of centre of Berea, in thin
bed. Lingula is common near
base of Black shale, in the stream
bed according to Fischer.
4 in. chert with cup crags, radiating,
same as S. of Lebanon; 3/4
coral.
8 ft. Dev. limestone, Upper part
with large characteristic crinoid stems.

The greenish blue clay shale underlying the Corniferous is not
well exposed in previous section.
About 2 1/4 miles N.E. of Berea, where
Joe's Lick Fork crosses the pike, an
exposure can be seen by mile west
of the road, south of the fork, east
of Bever Terrell's house.
Here about 13 feet of blue clayy
shale underlies the Devonian
limestone. A large reddish brown
limestone with calcite crystal and
nodules is assumed to belong
to the upper part of the Clinton,
Primory dolomite line
