276 At Whites station dark clay s.l. Platystraphia lynx at track level immediate south of statin. Dip 2 ft in 100 ft to north. Filled by shale. Then by more dark the clay divided with Platystrophia lynx. The Wp of last named arch is some 25 ft above Whites station, Thin brown shales, 45 ft to base of Clinton. Clinton here according to this is stratigra-phi cally 45 ft above Beds carrying Platystrophia lynx, Clinton. 2ft 2in Massive led at face 7ft Clinton heavy thin lime layers interbedded with clay 4 ft 1/8 in, chiefly clay but with rather ammeous clay eg. rock layer - 5 ft clay bed further NE near Panlato, large crinoid trades of Plat- istrella about 1 ft below base of the 5 ft clay layers. The clay layer is getting some calcareous towards SW, 7ft limestone, but interbedded with considerably clay, 21/2 ft li assigned to Clinton Topmost layer believed to contain Shuck endinum specimens per n, 2 in. Layer with pink ochr Earthy bed at face of black shale the 51 This 15 in. of limestone lie north the Fish tooth layer can tain much calcite in some place, in great latches. The way be rich at lower part of Dernnian below fish layer at Elliston road work 275. RR crossing over cracks. Dipping slight here. 11 ft Clinton to base of clay bed, 18 ft to top of limestone layers rather frequent. 10 ft Bedford clay, So it is interpolated from Paula section, in the be- lief that the strong south- ward dip is about here. At any rate the dip at the Dernnian exposure 43 mi. 5 275 is small, 2ft.
