28) At Rose Run Mining Co. Boring in several layers: full large crinoids 4 in. blue clay + 5 in. thin limestone 3 ft. ferns in some Clinton = etc. 1 ft. bluish slate including many layers. 7 1/2 ft. 2 ft shaly clay. 5 ft. thin (1/2-3 in.) layers of lime stone with 4-6 in. layers of clay between. The top layer is in places 8 in. thick. Do this ? up: the Huntfieldella bed? 29) Roran Cr. NW 1 Morris Ferry. Devonian limestone 13 in. of a grey color with some play or matter within on upper surface. Nothing else exposed). On further examining in, this Spindrift layer appears to occur in the lower part of the Black shale + the Clinton ferns is entirely absent. On the N side of the hill, North- ward, a similar rock appears. The lime surface is red, ferny-moss has a bluish-tinted appearance and may have had red tints in it, but this is uncertain. The fact that this then follows an irregular course of cause the first one to be on top. 30) Road to Farmville. Wavy Clinton layer (trending) waves NW 1/2 W, Northward up the hill the exposed shale section exceeds 70 feet. I forgot seen. 31) apparently its layers overlying the wavy Clinton layers. 32) Do wavy Clinton layer is seen here? trend NW 65 W. Thin limestone layers separated by greater thickness of 1-1/2 ft shaly clay etc. Like it did at Rose Run Mine. At least 5 feet seen here. 33) at Mill on Fox Creek Two miles below Farmville. 6 in. greenish clay, with brown under one. 1 1/2 ft clay 1/2 foot hard limestone. 1 ft 4 in clay 8 in. thin limestone 10 in. shelly wavy layers, 1 1/2 ft blue clay; 1 ft. limestone full large crinoids locus, not found here.
