11. E of Kiddville near mouth N Fork. Feruginous bed = 1½ feet thick. Contains Streptaphyca sub. plana, about 1½ feet above Strephelasma layer. The feruginous layer is overlaid by 8 in class of limestone. This 5 feet consisting chiefly of thin rift clay with a few thin linsen, at one crosses, more frequent near top. These are overlain by 5½ feet of thin limestone with thin clay partings, thicken til never as to merge into the clay (5 feet) beneath. There thin limestone furnished the middle stone of more seemingly sections. At the top a one of these beds is about 4 inches thick + some contact. 12. About ¼ mi, N of level. Dig 18 feet in & steps East on West side of creek. Barny Christian well shown. Massive clinton 5 ft. Softer layers between 2 feet. Massive limestone ½ foot 6½ feet unknown. Very finegrained purple material mixed up in a finegrained limestone. This layer at a numerous of places contained large crinoid heads, identically well shown, also some stephelia, cross on plana and vegetations abundantly. Overlying this bed is a sandy layer with more lay crinoid beads, poorly shown, we found not exactly one inch across. Also Streptelasma 4½ in dig the clay. Above is thin clay and then the thin limestone seen in last section. This shows the formation of the (le) wood line? This part is exposed also on N side of creek, it occurs higher in the section than the dig towards West on other side of creek would warrant.
