A slight dip in road of 15 ft feet on both side which is Hellatilla with Streptelasma ginning as it = apparently Streptelasma divar- cana. Also small Steps. Canaden. sis = Richmond, Thinfne fault here. Smith & Here cheat rubble ejectares, Possibly Richmond stuff hauled here? Do not know. 1040 ft Same 2andy & arrand stuff as up to last locality but the thin limestone layers have shor- Streph. magnivillerosi as well as Dalmacinnella emacerata, -Not Hype, 1085 Up to begin Georg Butler's farm in east side of road. Exposes chiefly a clayer stuff like we've seen. 11/12 At top of first ridge here road drops again. The cheat line appears to have dropped less and still to be embedded in residual clay. 1085 Dip to this level. No intercp. 1130 To top of next ridge. No outcrop. Have cheat at mid point in last half mile along road. Madden/prim 1055 To this point the road continues as a wage road, at its near west part there is an exposure of rock striking about N 70 E and dipping 80 N. Is this road rock. Following side road eastward, The exposures show up as calcuted like Duffin Layer. No bedding can be made out here. Rock of the same general nature shows up along the main ridge road going southward, chiefly central and chiefly. It is difficult to tell what is dip and what is all due to throwing. 1070 When road turned down, = plenty of the Madisen like rock, along the road goin' down. Here a byroad turns off up, little turned the west. This Madison like rock probably is the G arrand sandet me, To She no up to 1108. But at this level there is limestone in 2 andy thin slate. The limestone Can't show Seftelasma about out and Dalmacella emacerata few. Forther down too well the limestone contains smilings of animate ori- arrid beads. 950. Road Turns off NW to farme. To this point the rock strikes 3 with road and at my the road from first offpoint where the side road turns west up hill, at 1070. "939 Rock restricted appearing here. Dalmacella emacerata.
