. First[-fourth] annual report of the Geological survey of Texas, 1889[-1892] Edwin T. Dumble, state geologist. LE SOUTHWEST OF FITZE STATION, NACOGDOCHES COUNTY. A. Soil from mottled clay 2 feet- B. Yellow sandy clay 5 feet- C. Sandy clay shale to bottom of railway cut 1° feet. About two hundred yards north of Fitze Station is a stratum of yellowsand ten feet thick, overlying the long ferruginous geodes described underIron Ores. This interposition of sand is wanting in most localities, but thegeneral inference from this and other localities where it does exist fixes thehorizon of the geodes as underlying the sand, which in some localities hasbecome partly indurated to form the soft sandstone before described as un-derlying the regular iron sandstone. Going from Nacogdoches to Melrose, within the southern limits of theformer place, is an exposure of drift material by the roadside, consisting ofsoil, ferruginous sandy clay, iron pebbles, clay, and cross-bedded sand. Onthe opposite hill just beyond the brick yard, across the little stream, is anexposure of greensand marl. NACOGDOCHES COUNTY. 283. w. Fig. 24. SECTION NEAR BRICK YARD AT NACOGDOCHES. A. Sandy red soil . 3 feet. A. Sandy soil with altered greensand 3 feet. B. Ferruginous sandy clay 5 feet. C. Cross-bedded sand 2 feet. D. Sand. E. Clay 1 foot. F. Drift 18 in. G. Drift 3 feet. H. Greensand marl with fossiliferous casts 4 feet. I. Brickyard. J. Wagon road bed. In the same road, about four miles northwest of Melrose, at SimpsonsHill, is an exposure of red clay sixty feet; indurated greensand shell marlfive feet, containing shells of Scutella suhrotundaf, Cardita, sp. , etc.; veryfriable greensand shell marl four feet; shaly marl, with a two-inch parting ofhard glauconitic clay, two feet; altered greensand shell marl three feet. On the road from Marion to Nacogdoches, eight miles southeast of Nacog-doches, is an exposure of greensand shell marl, probably a continuation ofthe bed just described. On Aarons
