William - Valley View 16) West of Jeff Dards store fossils cease abruptly to the rock just as abruptly resembles much decayed Barred Sandstone at RR crossing. Further west the limestone is as thick above level of RR track that a fault must exist in here. 17) Lexington Limestone exposure 1 mi. E of Valley View, just N of cross roads mentioned above. Barely Catlery's Colby - Winchester 1) West of Colby, under overhead bridge Stromatoliferum is common, also apparently 1 specimen of Athoriscus chula + many Crustellaria of Colby type, as well as C. florida. By Colby type I mean without elevated microtubes. The Hebertella here is coarse rolled, not the N. maria. The large Helicostigma also appears to occur. 2) About 4 mi. E is first FM 629 with no exposure between. 3) About 1/2 mi. E of Colby is typical size and with first exposure. 4) About 5 1/2 mi. E is second exposure with Crustellaria and Raphines seen declining. No Athoriscus chula found, tried with confidence although one appeared to occur. Apparently no Hebertella mariae. 5) 628 FM. first. Crustollara Colby type + Raphines seen declining. 6) No exposures for 3/4 mi. E of 628 FM. 7) At 2 points within 1/4 mi. N of 627 FM are two very poor exposures. 8) One good exposure 1/5 mi. E of 627 FM, at top is coarse grained limestone. One Athoriscus chula found but at RR level so that it is rare or possibly was carried.
