It is about 12 feet my to
face of the limestone layers
which are light lemon thin beddy
the limest mes are 5½ feet thick.
From line b to line J Devonian
is 11 feet, Devonian top foot
thick. According to dips
the Devonian base should
be 67 feet above line J
Chintm. According to
actual measurement it
is only 37 feet above the line
of Chintm.
According to dips the top of
the thin limestone is 29 feet
down Devonian, according
to actual measurement
it is only 12 feet below.
There is an east cliff on east
side J creek but I do not
know how rapid the dip is,
n whether it is constant.
The elevation of the thin lime
stones suggests that the dip
is not constant.
13. At cross roads 2½ mi. S of
J of Levee.
The bed which usually shows a
nodular layer in southern
Kentucky & allly Tennessee,
here a continuous purple ph
glathic bed, 1 foot to ½ feet thick.
The base of the black shale is
claygy rock, hard
at road angle a quarter of
a mile N. This basal clay
rock is seen to be under laid
by a little black shale.
14) Squeamore Creek.
The clay hard rock in lower face
of Black shale section is under
coved by 5½ feet of black shale
then by 4 inches hard rock
then by 16 feet of Osgrowe
bireault which is the red
sandy rock with fine gravelly
bed. The J an inch clay
trimoid beads are very even-
ner in bed of stream. This
layer contains clay lumps all
is irregularly wave marked.
The overlying 12 ft. of red are equally
red, a fine grained purple thin layer
occurs just above.
