8 [9cut] at quarry nearest road.
Waverly
John Swell -12 miles Nash.
Black Shale {1 foot, hannah sandy slate with a
few muscles of animal color = 2 inches.
4 ft 3 in. {3 feet black shale.
{3 inches, hrm sandstone,
Waldrn 2 1/2 ft to 8 feet. The lower two feet
of shale contain plenty of thin lime
stone layers, and this is by far the
most fossiliferous part.
[arrow]
Sannuel 22 1/2 ft of top section is quarried,
[9cut] At quarry NE of East, several
hundred feet from road.
Waverly rests directly on
Waldrn, about 8 feet thick. It & frm
this and East quarry that the fossils
were obtained.
At a few places several slabs of
Swartzville rock show up above the
Waldrn bed, and beneath the
Waverly bed.
[9cut] Waverly rests directly on Sannel
top west of John Swell 600 yds.
at old quarries. Here the thin
ner fossils were found.
Views 1-5 just West of John Scott.
Clint m + credited from Sherman.
[9cut] along road just west of highest point
just west of John Scott. 1/4 mile.
Black shale on trace of Waldrum
Waldrum complete in chos = 2 inches?
very little exposed.
Sannel, top well exposed. Practically
in contact with the black shale.
Thickness 24 1/2 feet. But am difficult
to clieting marks from Osgrd.
Osgrd not well exposed here, about
10 feet are accredited to it here, this
being the unknown section.
Clint m? The dirty beds from top of
exposed cherty beds to bottom. The
bottom will marked. There may be
beds higher than the one here found
but this is not very likely. Thick-
ess at least 27 1/2 feet.
[9cut]
At another point I secured a measure-
ment of the Chirty Clint m with a
cloth or line. Thickness of Clint m
was 23 feet exactly. The Osgrd
above was calculated at 12 feet,
and 11 feet of the very irregular
Madison was seen below.
The section thence was
12 ft. of Osgrd Take upper figure
23 ft. of Clint m. Take upper figure
11 ft of Madison + + base not
seen. Fossils found at top
of Madison.
