R D Murrell on Caney Creek road, From here .144 miles North to main exposure of which is believed to be lowest exposure along creek. Clayg rock with interbedded limestone not aiming strath magnillensis, R D Murrell = .367 miles from forks of Caney creek North of line. From Forks of road: .151 miles to line of chalky gully where I made my section, 18th July. From Forks of road: .493 miles to next forks of road northward, 10ft rise road. From R D Murrell to forks of road where B myt and road & Bethelca road meet = .860 miles. 12 ft from lowest exposure at Forks of Caney North of R D Murrell to top of strongly conglomerated layers, 16ft further up to base of gully, section = 28 yd from lowest point where outcrops exposed at fork of road N of R D Murrell to base of gully section. 22 ft divide road gully section to next fork northward, Dip and cal culated at 110ft. Total = 132 ft, from gully to forks of road. 26 ft measured with out regard to dip from forks of road to top of clayg with 10ft. Lynx formation To nodules at top of lower Infer- ior face of Bichmond = 8 ft. mile, total = 34 ft, Dip and calculated at 13 ft. Gr and total = 47 ft = Forks to nodules. 182 ft from gully to forks 179 ft from gully to nodules calculated. 170 ft measured vertically The top of the Warren, in about 20ft, is either soft clay rock. The next lower part is the hard, dense blue clay limestone containing sharp conchoderma, with cerat, etc, which form the fossil silicified, which occur on the little summits at Murrells to, just beneath the Devonian Nodules. 41 ft Underlies of Black Shale
