2 ft. limestone, slightly crinoidal
3 ft. reddish clay. May be thicker,
if not faulted.
White + much cracked rock
like some of the Roemer lime,
stones and some J Laurel
also.
The grade seems along road at
John Bradus in an E to N
direction.
Fortier S. is Niagara (Lans-
ville?) overlaid by Lower Hel-
derberg (fossils) and still far-
ter S. is Silicenus Group.
Black shale not exposed here.
30) East of angle of Public road
to Erin, E of John Bradus'
homse.
Black Shale is seen up a
quaggy in the N side of the little
stream flowing westward
and passing just S of John
Bradus's house.
Under Welderby fossils, thin
section, as at RR cut,
169 ft. limestone, Astraeopagia
meniscus near base. Very
flat Favorite favros about
3/5 way up. Faulting may
have increased the section
here.
20 ft not exposed.
32 ft. Layered red rock, pretty
well exposed. Massive--
? Massive red limestone,
dense and red, like some
below the red layers at
Chipton, but red instead of
light red. B one not exposed
here.
31. Christopher Schmidt: At old
Furnace on SW edge of basin.
Black shale. Also limestone
exposures. The latter contain
peculiar fossils. Faulting
in here.
32. Dr. W. B. Scott. On western
edge of basin, at about the
middle of its length. Here the
various sponges were found in
the regular Roemer beds. There
overly soft red layered rocks
and hard massive limestone,
correlating the John Bradus
section. Below the red mass-
ive rock, south of the house,
is the Osgood with the Ove-
crinus + Stephanocrinus,
