Section at Lady's Bluff

Started section about 100 yds N of house at S. end of bluff.

A - Light blue gray shaly ls. Between 16 & 21' above river level saw U. Stricklandi  This is unusual for Beech River. About 42' of shaly ls. 

B - Harder, nodular gray limestone, 5-15' Light gray with brachiopods

C - Partly covered but mostly of grayish green ls, somewhat shaly 16'

D - Shaly ls. containing brachiopods 8' U. saffordi, Calymene, Glypidula

E - Purplish and greenish shaly ls.  Contains corals. Probably should not be separated from D. 

F - Decatur, 60' +/-.

G - Linden ls. ?  Entire top of hill covered with chert. Saw no evidence of shale although it may have existed here. 

Top of hill goes about 20' above top of Decatur making hill about 175' above present river level. 

   The section given here was taken mainly at the point jutting into the river on the north side of a small creek that comes into the river.  South of this creek the section is somewhat different.  The so-called [[underline]] Uncinulus [[/underline]] bed is either more weathered or not so thick as to the north.  My mention of U. stricklandi in Beech R. may bear this out.  Found Conchidium in red-green shaly zone same as at
