Base of spath. odent quartzite. Black argillaceous Osgood shales almost directly be- neth; At Benterville, the Clinton forms the summit of the ridge. About half way between Benta- vil and West Union there is a small knoll which jurn- both carries the system shall part of the West Union cliff. Loc. 1. Five miles east of Flemingsburg, Staff Wallingford road. Black shale hill on property of Charles Blanchet. 1 ft Black slate, partly Sinking, 2.5 ft shaly sandstone, partly Berea and Bedford. 113 ft Ohio shale. 46 ft red clay, apparently in upper part of Oxford. At least two limited sue fragments visible in the clay, and hence not supposed to be West Union, 27 ft red clay with ferriminnous frag- mets of limestone common, 18 ft red clay with thin limestone fragments such as are common in upper part of Crab Orchard. 36 ft clay shale undated older of Crab Orchard age.
