One mile S of 233, where road
Turns West th and Tumeroville,
Coming down the hill at the turn
of the road, the Black shale is
mudded and by Devonian chert in
red soil, and then by a sandy
clay resembling the Riclum clay.
This may be Mayville lime
rock, judging from sections
NE of there. I assume it to be
Mayville.
Half a mile west of this last
locality, where a road from
the south curves in, Plat:
Tenderosa occurs in the creek
bed. This evidently is May-
ville. The overlying part of
the section also is presumed
to be Mayville. The thin
laddled stuff starting in
about half way to Turnersville
is assumed to be the Tote.
layers. It is important to
note that the Conryville
here does not consist of
grey-coloured limestone but
of augillaceous lime-
stone which lithologically
resembles the Riclum clay.
This might to have come
migrating geographically.
Devonian chert is common almost
as far as Turnersville.
137. Creek N of them. Black Shale plenty,
SE of this locality. Black shale was
exposed on hill, over Den. limestone.
E to my west and dip here, if
not a fault: then the Den lime-
stone-chert continues to 133 etc.
138. A cistern backed house exposed
argill, cl = Conryville probably,
44ft down is shale rubble with
stroph. maysvillenian. Between
there should occur the orth Mayv-
childa limestone but it was not
seen. Exposure not sufficient to
determine as yet whether
the shale rises sharply since 137
or whither there is a fault here.
139. Below entrance to lime quarry smith is
stroph. maysvillenian and some
foot of white probably is Fort Hope,
and this continues to be exposed
westward as far as Hanging Park.
140. Up to this point the stone fences
contain stroph. maysvillenian;
some exposures seen Directly
west of house are good exposures
with stroph. maysvillenian, between
pike and creek.
There exposures continue west to
fork of pike.
141. Exposures with stroph. maysvillenian.
