11FTS. Plat: predominates toward N.E.
Exploring Amberine beds,
taken about (950-18) = 932 ft USGS
judging from contour lines only,
probably 27½ft
Base of Mt Amburns side Plat
dominated horizon,

104.
Plat: predominates Mt Amburn
face at about 860 ft USGS
judging from contour lines only,
Of the top of ridge is 938 USGS
then the top of the Amberine
face of this clay layer at line
of Bricken under at 901 USGS
57th up finally copying MS
map,
At the next road corner near the
mark is 916 USGS or that at 938
probably is correct.
105. 894ft USGS = face of Amberine.
Rhy. dentata.
Most of the section down to creek
practically in sandstone, My. ?
limestone, N.F. Formation down
to creek level. Only Mt Amburn+
This would place the top of the Mt Amburn
at about 874. The Mt Amburn is exposed
but was not measured. The trace of
the Mt Amburn Plat beds should be at about 866. The underlying section
was not measured but probably is new
land and
Between #94/10 old numbers, N.F. Rockland,
the creek is at 849 ft. U.S.G.S.
The exposure in the bank cliffs and
northward along the road includes
only shale rock.
10. The cliff at 10 C consists of layer of
clay rock, 3 ft exposed, containing
Hard Detritus present in front
6 in., and Plat: predominates is
present in largest large contain
by Agitana.
This places the base of the Amberine
bed at 848 ft U.S.G.S.
The old exposure at 10, west of the
road, is formed by the top of the
Amberine.
North of the house N.F. 10, the hard
limestone below the Amberine is
exposed up to 7 ft above the creek.
The trace of the Amberine may be
several feet further up.
