These S.S. soon runs under and for a mile & a half no rocks are seen. Then about 6/8 of soft shale & shales are seen. The lower parts of their surfaces covered with iron. They resemble the stone sigulla bed. Plough grey where not iron stained They contain a great abundance of a minute Lingula and a small Leiohynchus. Near the middle there are Goniatites and small Orthocerata, ferns? and Linnelibras. They are exposed along the creek for about 100ft. Then they run under the drift. A farmer tells me that a layer below any of these in this section was formerly quarried for flag stone. I saw where it outcrops on the hill side and it must be at least 100 ft below AI
