The bend of material directly west of the fence consists of an argillaceous sand which I assume to be the Red Sandstone. This forms the main fault.
Directly west of the fault there is grey, cross limestone which I assume to be Lexington but I did not lower. Assume a fault directly west of the fault.
20 Before reaching 20, when the creek east of the main fault approaches the county road running east from the fork, the ark slope east. Then the Black slate is seen dipping NE. Below this, eastward, the over profiles form Ozander Saluda slants up, either limited or dipping gently west.
A short distance SW of 20, directly east of the first house south of the junction of the depressed county road with the fork there is a quarry, ready seen from the road junction. The Huttella tricalis is about and 4 feet or within face of the quarry. The underlying ark is in thin black, is very irregularly bedded, and thus rests on 3 feet or fine grained limestone with gypsum occurring, which resembles the High Bridge Ark in general appearance. Ark great ahead and Huttella is against
the High Bridge age of the under lying material.
21. Huttella tricalis has crystalline lime at the are.
22. Ozander Saluda dipping westward.
23. Fairmount bed, good but low exposure on N side of road.
Large flat S lithofina. By gypsum.
Huttella occidentalis or depressus thick,
Platy strophia. Jura dense.
Strophomena on argillaceous.
Cancellaria florida.
Cyclomena tale spire.
Lithofina and corruptions... hills today.
24. Large depression, like a horse sink in Fairmount horizon. Another smaller sink seems farther SE.
25. Top of profiles was Fairmount bed. Flat limestone. Most indeterminate C. Huttella tricalis + occidentalis overlaid by thin chalky impure limestone. Late layers.
26. Quarry in Fairmount, 25 ft high. Strophomena on bluish C. Cancellaria C. Platy prudence. Otervina without anterior tooth. Posterior part not exposed. No late layer exposed too low.
