Lancaster. 99. The Amherst fossil part belongs above this level. Chin shale, tofts of till. 10 ft Mt Auburn plat fenderosa corn 19 ft grad come to top of massive l, ready above others. According to calculation in the Textor modernism should come in at 21° + 29: 50 + 920 = 970 ft U.S.G.S. and thus 84 ft at this locality plat. fenderosa is abundant up to 965 ft U.S.G.S. and from this point down 12 ft (955) U.S.G.S. The rock looks like Mt Auburn limestone. The heavy limestone lines come in at level of fence. North- ward; many of the plat fenderosa are of andmensis type. (10) massive blue limestone, Maysville. (101) 24 ft. Bryozoa abundant. Richmond beds. S plat. fenderosa tarand lay, 6½ ft septaria, Rhynch. dentata. base < 944 U.S.G.S. 4 ft. solid limestone, 16½ ft shale rock, 8 ft plat. fenderosa abundant mt Auburn 18. Massive l. < 916 U.S.G.S. Creek level. 102. S way S on this road from Gilbert Creek, tht Auburn is soon exposed, the plat gray shale + solid limestone beds are referred to a granite of a strike. Then come the Amherst, Yorkeana and 4 miles above here, whether coming in with it range up to 2 ft above the base. Plat. fenderosa occurs regularly. This is preceded by the top of firm dlay with numerous bryozoa at time from Bridgwood. Several loose Columbian's rocks partially landed down from hill side. The face of the Amherst fossils limestone, 920 ft U.S.G.S. righting along road about ½ mile east as clearly as the instrument permits. With 40 ft above Bridgwood line the rock is steady and no Colum- brian mark is found in it.
