276. Rim'd clay top of St Ives

The rock is vertical near the
base.
277. Fine grained bl well bedded,
crowned by whitish l.
278. Great thickness of argillite l.
At least 25 ft thick.
279 Lithothamnium cylindricale
280 Two feet of Spenger chalk
here contains quartz granules
up to 1/32 inch, but very few
fossils and there are not characters;
die. Recognized lith Argillaceo
by comparison with Wallbridge
section - 100 ft N.S.G.S.
4 ft arg clay
Reddish smartly n chalk nodules,
such as seen at top of Warrids
dirty section, at Marcthury,
281. No trace of Spenger.
4ft 8 ft clay
<- Top of reddish chalky nodule
layer
3 ft interval from top of chalky
layer down.
1/2 ft l. = Harwood burg.
5 1/2 ft. interval,
1ft <- Considerable chalk firmly
in place.
50 ft interval in the St Ives free
stone ledge about 3 ft thick
near middle.
Rim'd level.
Lamsted.
282. 1/3 feet of freestone about 2 ft
above roadman level.
At a higher level, on the smit
face of the tunnel cut, an upper

283. One the upper freestone c.lbc 284
which is about 8 ft thick, comes

284. Great thickness of St Ives & Tunnel
3 1/2 ft more massive l.
R> 5 ft massive arg rock, some chalky
1 ft thin layers, weathering clayey,
3 1/2 ft Massive rock, Spinger Revival
9 ft massive rock, crinoidal + free life
worms locally and important as in
Harwood burg occasionally on upper
horst side + Rhupidomella dubia,
about Wallbridge rock.
R> No trace of Spenger here.
285 Narrow gap over to Big Hill,
6th Sandy face of St Ives with 2 mm
grains. 32 m diameter = Spenger.
8 ft Interval = yellowish rock
reddish nodules very frequent as
onones, same as below older
