From
257. Dixie crossing, towards 256,
Dev Limestone.
65 ft of clay black well exposed face
not seen.
Massive bed overlying lower Brum
Middle clay not exposed.
11ft to level of bridge.
5 ft limestone alternating with
clay rock especially along middle
corresponding to 5X clay layer.
Slu tip 10 in = solid limestone also
the bottom 8 in = 2 layers cold lime.
14 ft successive limestone,
Large crinoid heads + what ? shells
islands looking limestone.
Going N a large mass of
limestone slat, presumably
the 2 ft layer, lies 10 ft above
the level of the bridge. From
far it has dropped form in situ
to incline.
39 ft above the bridge, by min N of
the bridge, where the steeper part of
level begins, the 2 latter layers will be seen to dip towards
the south.
On North of hill going down
towards Drake creek, large
successive specimens of columnar
varia's halls are common;
according to my calcs allows
they join 75 feet below.
Chatham at least but there
is a fault nearby at least.
At this fault the large beds
on south have dropped,
dip is South.
Plenty strophosic layers extend
at least 25-40 above
Drake creek at N side.
About in accordance to level of
70 feet higher my last club
undermined + fault. Under
to present level along
my line,
Black Slate 3/4 mls NE of Swine.
