4 ft shallow parting irregular.
1 ft 3 in shales thin vargely finely tree
creted, fossils rare.
H 5 ft Thin to medium bedded compact
Marlshy sl.
G 7ft 8 in Very massive and white crystalline.
F 4 ft 6 in. Hematite and rone over bedded, very
f.g and gray blue color mathat yellow
D, 8 ft 3 in Three to four inch limestone, meaty
owing nodules, especially in lower
part with clay partings thicker in lower
nodular to one. Clay-No 2 fire clay.
Brecia in the clay looks irregularly
This focal brecciated part. This
Breccia extends up to 5 in above
C 3 ft 5 in Clay, dark green below, purplish
above, with Breccia minimal in lower 2 in.
3 in Brecciated top of same charac
ter as underlying limestone,
E 6 ft 3 in Very dense grayish brown limestone,
mythin fayar pressure brecciated,
fraved layers across the quarry,
This limestone runs as a heavily
2 ft 6 in. Very white + dense l, like Daytona l.

4 ft 6 in Medium to massive bedded,
R compact, short modules.
Below A there is at least 5 ft
of limestone, Mine probably
the amount should be 9 ft
instead of 5 ft.
