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.

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-
