Boyd - Berry
8) As far as I can judge from my observations made so far, the Cathep rises from the cut 4 mi N of Boyd southward, and about 3/5 mi or 1 mi south of Boyd exposes the strong contorted bed which occurs below the top of the Cut heys about 20 feet. Further south the Cathep dips southward and soon passes the nivea at RR level, for quite a distance, until a point less than 1 mile from Berry is reached. But about 3/5 mi N of Berry the Cathep rises again and the top is at least 20 feet above RR level.
9) At the Tunnel 3/4 mi S of Berry, the same Lyferderma occurs that is seen at cut 1/3 mi N of Berry, at the Tunnel there is a duplex prisme.
10) The contorted layer seen since 1 mile S of Boyd is here well seen about 7 ft above top of tunnel entrance,
11) Found Boyricula, same as near upper fault of hill believed to be Utica, east of rail road culvert 1/2 miles and 3/4 mile south of Boyd, but at Berry it occurs below contorted layer 20 ft, and at 3/4 mi S of Boyd it occurs about 15 ft above contorted layer.
12) Southward the first exposure worth visit ing is 2 mi N of Robinson, so that it is unnecessary to walk the track between Boyd & Robinson.
13) Contorted layer 3 mi S of Robinson only,
14) Between Robinson and Poindexter apparently the lower more massive limestone rises above the contorted layer soon up.
15) Near Poindexter the bedded clays alternating with equal thicknesses of limestone, same as near Boyd, show up.
16) 3/2 mi Poindexter 1/2 mile the contorted layer is seen about 10 feet above RR and the more massive limestone is at top of bluff, about 40 feet above RR. Observations taken from train only since Berry, Ky.
17) 1/2 mi N of Cynthiana rock contains Dalmanella, rather lags and flat, but not blist or brittle. Has same appearance as ark but too much mixed with Cathep age.
18) At Nedge of Cynthiana there is a fine exposure of Lexington quarried, in its Helvetella Lirah's and Rhynchotrema Dalmanella.
