[float] to the top of hill has limestone with [?] and a [pumky]reddish sands tone. The limestone (coral) forms a bench about 30' below the top of the hill at about 470' El.

Coral bed itself is 1-2': Under are 3' gray finely granularids with Tropidoleptus.

What I call coral bed is crowded with digitate favosites, & cup corals. The 3' bed under the coral bed also contains corals but they are more scattered.

Coral bed = 66105A; bed with Tropidoleptus and scattered corals = 66105B. Chert is unevenly distributed among the two limestone beds. 

This bed and associated layers strongly suggest the coral bed under shale & cherty ls seen at 66103 just north of the entrance to the ravine beside the road up the hill to Ridge School. The Wittenberg occurrence is thus low in the St. Laurent rather than high and there is no Lingle here
