A short distance farther south,
south of the home of Mill Roberts,
there is a fault crossing the
road, cutting clean the Black
Shale on the north side. On is a
live trace of shaly math rock
which may be Devonian shale.
Within a very short distance the old
Cret Archard road is struck. From
this old road eastward, there
is a school house at the point
where the Crab Archard road turns
off sharply southward. Another
road, or lane, passes down the
gate at the school and follows
down the creek eastward, cutting
but Richmond seems far away
this road.
Going eastward down the creek
in black loam strata, and
just W of the bridge a little
over a mile east of May wood,
the blue clay above the Rich-
mond is exposed with the Flat,
under as of the upper Archim
immediately beneath. The
Richmont may be at least 8 ft
above the creek East of the
bridge.
Fault runs N 40 E, On Nov 12th,
fault is Richmond rock. On S
side is apparently top of Archim
with Flat under and with
shale rock above. This is much
to my former view as Leptana
was found.
On second examination I take
it that the Archim here is now
laid by shaly Richmont and is
underlaid by shaly bed, Flat,
underneath clay muds called
Archim. No Leptana was seen.
This locality is where roads fork,
one mile direct East of May
wood.
South of locality 129, on top of hill,
is the rock which I would rather
classify like the Clinton. It
possess that large exposure.
So called Clinton = 77 ft
above RR and same dis-
tance above Maupville top
suggesting that it's
not Clinton.
