The exposure is an artificial road bank and ditch that has become obscure through overgrowth and surface slump. Precise directions for finding this site are contained in the text. The lowest two feet of the Fraileys Shale at this site is covered, and its depth to the top of the underlying Beech Creek Limestone was determined through the use of post-hole equipment. Samples of the limestone at the contact were secured for thin sectioning to establish the sequence. The entire exposure is presently badly de- teriorated through the overgrowth of vegetation and could easily be overlooked. The shale, as described in the measured section, is finely bedded, grey-blue in color and weathers to a dirty tannish- buff mud. When first exposed, during road construction in 1963, occasional streaks of crinoid debris and a single layer of crinoidal limestone lenticles up to two inches in thickness were in Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Paleontological Research Institution (Ithaca, N.
