The above fauna is that of the Wabaunsee formation and the 

 reddish to pinkish limestones are similar in appearance to lime- 

 stones near the middle of the formation in Kansas. 



The heavy limestone near the crest of the bluff on the 

 northern side of the creek is very prominent both above and 

 below Weeping Water for some distance, as well as in the village 

 itself. Perhaps the best section of the limestone and underly- 

 ing rocks is afforded by the Reed quarry, one-half mile east of 

 the village. It is north of the railroad, the base of the Fusidina 

 shaly limestone being about eighty feet above railroad level or 

 approximately 1160 feet A. T. 



SECTION OF THE REED QUARRY. 



Ft. Ft. 



Q. Loess, 10 to 12 feet 12 := 63^^ 



8. Massive light gray limestone weathering to a whitish 

 color. This is the main quarry stone. It is crushed for 

 railroad ballast and burned for lime which slacks and sets 

 very quickly. In some places it reaches a thickness of 

 12 feet. Some flint and iron pyrites in upper part - g = 51K 



7. Shaly buff to yellowish fossiliferous limestone containing 

 abundant Fiisulinas in the upper 4 feet and in lower 

 part Spirifer ca//ieraties. Used for riprap. Base about 

 80 feet above railroad level ----- 6^ = 42 J^
