8 At Brad Criner: 573 Zinetta
See but not the base;
19/2 Up: ferruginous nodules large,
abundant.
24 1/2 ft. from base; ferruginous nodules
large, abundant,
33 1/2 ft. up, from base since 24 1/2 ft. ferr.
cinnops nodules occur at vari
ous intervals, large & abundant.
4 1/2 ft. per face. Ferruginous nodules
not large,
53 clay. Since 30 the Zinetta
clay gradually has become harder
and more chalky but it still
weather whitish + soft clay,
at 53 is plenty of ferruginous
nodular material.
Up to 637 ferruginous nodules
are seen in the clay shale. This
clay are just as abundant as
lower planes. Clay does just
exactly the same and soft but
tends to lie more broken up
so that flakes fragments
weathering dark blade gives a
light brown.
At 643 is the first layer of
rock like fine freest one, 4 in
thick, with ferruginous nod
ules absent clay quite below,
a change from stuff weather-
cloy to that weathering more
only takes place near 624
In reality it very gradual.
From 643 to 660 occasionally
freestone layers, 2 to 3 in thick
and occasional ferruginous
nodules occur.
Up to 681 since 660 flares
rock, with occasional ferr
nodules but no clay; free at
at least some well exposed.
At 725 thin & ferruginous nodules
but these have been crushed
scarcely since 637 and more so
since 615, except at occasional
intervals.
Up to 745 there is clayey shale
with very little ferruginous in it.
Collected clay between 695 and
Up to 798 the order is flitch clay,
ark, with ferruginous nodules
rare. Fossils nearly but very few
up to 817 came as last -
rock.
Collected from 745 to 817:
Up to 836 from 817 A cramer
part of the shale is indurated
as to flake like a bastard
freestone, but it is very coarse
of all badly, weathering into
to a new kind of rock as
between 745 and 817.
Between 817 and 860 the shale
as a massive hard and
flinty rocks and weathers to
my rock.
