1000 Berea 7 AM. 87. J.C. Baker's farm, 3 mis of Ringtn, 970 ft. 8 AM. 5 mils of house. No exposures at me here. Siltfieldella bed. No fossils. 3'2" top of heavy layer at top of 7'ft massive Clinton limes. Fault with Dermin on N on same level as Clint, on S. North of J.C. Baker house. Strong plant toward SW, Section not well expressed. 6'2" gray Derminian l. 1'ft limestone, weathering chalky, fish layer, then, at top, At least wit very small inodular material. 88. 1/2 mi. NE of New Liberty church colored and 1/2 mil S of Robtann store, There is a layered section of soil overlying the Black Slate west of the road corners which is probably the equivalent to the clay at Jane's Grove section, must be at this layer only. Derminian at junction of roads and also 1/2 mi. W. reduced to about 1/2 inch sandy layer equivalent to fish layers, 90 89. N. of Dave Garrett's house at N. end of Bobtann. Der. limestone at least 4 feet thick, me sees as five layers. Total not less now. Exposure poor. Fault here. Ordovician on same level or north as Dermin limestone on south of fault. I made a mistake here. In the well at Joe Creek Kump's downse the Black Slate rests or nearly directly in the Oford beds that over intercedeiate layers of Derminian were found. Probably this is only a little fish layer here and the rock at Dave Garrett's is Clinton on, 1020 ft at 9.45 AM. The distance from base of Clinton at Dave Garrett's to base of Black Slate at Joe Creek Kump's is 16'ft. There may be a contact cut right here. They weren't 13'ft below Black Slate in well without reaching massive Clinton. at Mat Morris property, honeers is Der. l. under Black Slate & in shale. Oxford clay below + Black Slate about. Farther SE than Der. l. is 14 mi. thick at crossing wn stream.
