12 Near mouth of South Branch.
[illegible] at creek level.
9 inches coarse white limestone.
4 inches fine grained with chert
modules.
18 feet coarse white limestone
Plicerosus gemmiformis
Ollermus Long like Madonna
some but more flat.
6 inches of white limestone more
finegrained, more like Day
town limestone.
Total section = 14 1/2 feet.
On the north side of the road where the
stone is quarrelle for a stone crusher,
it's edge is blue; the coarse grained
character is not so readily noticeable
unless the rock is carefully examined.
Clinton 11. 12. On Clifty Creek north of Sandusky.
Most of the pike at least 8 feet of
cherty strata are exposed. At least
half and perhaps more of the layers
contain chert or concretions of cherty
lode.
Above this are at least 6 feet of lime-
stone, well down partly the pike.
It is believed that these typical lime-
stone lodes of this exposure in
the last experience. Clinton 12, S. Brown
