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.
