144 18. Near [illegible] the ground cont[ain] round cherty, a granitz[ing] concret[ions] like there from Knoxville. Before reaching kind of road, there is a coarse grained limestone like Souther At end of road towards North, there is heavy mixed limest[one with] masure- m[atter] things like High Bridge Detachd. payments common. Since unknown Farther along the same road is stuff that looks later 2 and Marly, a few quartz concretions, there in the horizon showing up. This [illegible] show up beyond point where road turns NE. About 100 yards north of this point in field next to road, there is a white dyke. Apparently the rock east of this dyke is a rough brecciated limestone. This white dyke runs approximately N + S. On its eastern side, where the road turns off NE, at the point already mentioned and from there to the present when the road makes its east turn toward the North, [illegible] house, Black Slate is exposed tilted strongly southward. East of the point where the road start North for the house is Saluda like sandy clay rock, not quartzed but Psenic. Saluda. No joints, appearing. Farther east[erly] sand exposure: probably limestone? actually, with Platy shingles [illegible]. Large and 145 [illegible] concretions... Going from the sink near SE of the house southward along the street on running end of the nearest fault, [illegible] with Platy [illegible] in agreement with below the argillaceous clay rock un- twining the same [illegible] (Ol. f[orming]) and show this is the argill. Spalling clay rock with but fossils. Going southward along the stream east of the main fault, there is a steep western slope, extending eastwards as far as the first main ridge east of the stream, at the top of this ridge, southward, Black slate is exposed. Apparently, I did not go to see it. but judged from the distance. 19. Farther south near the point I have marked 19, straight east of a fence on the eastern side of the [illegible], there is a sudden eastward dip for about 30 ft west of the stream, and then the Black slate suddenly appears, appear- ently east of a fault. Is there a sub-parallel structure at the southern end of this sheet between the fault and the first ridge east? Going from 19 NE up the north S [illegible] marginal line or edge [illegible] SE of the fence, along the path east of the wire fence.
