[[stamped]] 0799 [[/stamped]] [[left margin encircled]] 22 [[/left margin encircled]] [[encircled]] 4 [[/encircled]] Quarry 4 just SE of Honey Creek on NW wall has dark gray ash-weathering limestone in heavy ledges and separated by beds of thin platy limey shale about 3 or 4 shale beds in all. This limestone & shale occupies about the lowest 50' of the quarry are in these beds. The next 65' of rock are difficult of definition but in it are black fracturing light gray weathering with wavy streaks. The lithology is very suggestive of Nealmont. The ledges are quite thick when fresh. I see nothing absolutely typical of Nealmont. The upper bed ^[[of the 65']] is a 3 - 4' band of conchoidally fracturing silicious ls. reminiscent of Hostler Above the 65' comes about 20' with Stover-like lithology, irregular short horizontal pits. I cannot be sure if this is Stover or Nealmont because the look similar. On this Stover-like material comes 2-3' of mealy ls with Glyptorthis and Pionodema, the same as the mealy band in Naginey No. 1. Above the mealy bed are 25' of Nealmont-like rock Fine-ribbed Ancistrorhyncha was seen in the rock of one 65' interval The shaly beds are interbedded with dense ribbon banded limestone weathering brownish gray and leaving a conchoidal fracture. Near the entrance to the quarry where the section begins the rock seems dolimitic. This division suggests the Loysburg but it may as well be Canadian.
