Tuesday. At this place about 2 feet of greenish shale can be seen me only at the base of the Black shale. Only about 1/2 foot of black shale intervenes between the greenish phase of the Black shale and its base. This greenish phase of the Black Shale was first noticed half way between Greasy creek & Belle Island, see notes 3 pages before this. About south of the western end of Belle Island, on the next turn of the river, where it flows west, on the north bank of the river, the rocks dip east. About 10 feet of very sandy limestone one with small bed cross bedding are exposed. Towards the top trigram remains, and a few cuttings of crinoidals & O. bips data came in. About 10 feet of frail shaly limestones overlie the sandy beds and about 2 1/2 miles above Romana the rocks dip west again and about 2 miles above Romana, the Tetradians and Scutichia beds are found about 10 feet above the frailling beds last mentioned. All of these measurements are guesses but the important fact is the existence of a rough crossbedded beds at one great distance below the shale chips beds of the delta on my mile below Belle Island. Wednesday July 26 '99, B.E. Shale 650. Just below Medina branch, at the beginning of the high cliff exposure on the north side of the river, 2 miles above Romana, the following sections seem: 8 1/2 feet thin shales, dark. 14ft massive limestone weathering brown 45 ft dark shales = limestm shales. 5 ft less shaly. At top with gardes - 65 ft shale at me, and soft of shaly hard and dark lime st me. In places crossing together shales hang together here. 1 1/4 ft brown limestone F. 27 ft. dark shale, brown tinge, becoming harder & more massive at top. 13 1/4 ft. massive brown limestone 33 ft Wavely shale dark shale, light at base. 35 ft. Blade Shale, a few nodules at top. 11 ft top of massive beds E 650 9 1/2 37 ft. clayg limestone D. with some grits 639 11 1/2 ft. massive limestone C? 15ft limestone + clay B.
