  the 
  northern 
  side

   creek 
  nearly 
  two 
  miles 
  northwest 
  of 
  Haywood 
  (formerly 
  Sidney

  an

  thin

  red 
  sandstone.

  . 
  On 
  the 
  southern 
  side 
  of 
  Carrs 
  creek, 
  two 
  miles 
  

   northwest 
  of 
  Maywood, 
  is 
  quite 
  an 
  extensive 
  railroad 
  cut 
  the 
  

   base 
  of 
  which 
  is 
  95 
  feet 
  above 
  the 
  creek 
  level. 
  The 
  rocks 
  shown 
  

   in 
  the 
  cut 
  are 
  mostly 
  olive 
  shales 
  and 
  sandstones 
  with 
  some 
  

   blue 
  shale. 
  At 
  one 
  place 
  is 
  a 
  spot 
  of 
  shale 
  which 
  is 
  somewhat 
  

   reddish, 
  perhaps 
  from 
  weathering, 
  but 
  olive 
  at 
  each 
  end. 
  A 
  

   contorted 
  layer 
  of 
  sandstone 
  occurs, 
  and 
  the 
  cut 
  shows 
  a 
  section 
  

   33 
  feet 
  in 
  thickness. 
  Fossils 
  are 
  not 
  common, 
  with 
  the 
  exception 
  

   of 
  Crinoid 
  segments, 
  but 
  the 
  following 
  species 
  were 
  found 
  by 
  

   Mr 
  William 
  L. 
  Fisher:

  The 
  rocks 
  exposed 
  in 
  this 
  cut 
  are 
  near 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  first 
  

   fossiliferous 
  zone 
  above 
  the 
  Oneonta 
  sandstone 
  which, 
  as 
  already 
  

   stated, 
  is 
  referred 
  to 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  Chemung 
  formation 
  in 
  this 
  

   report. 
  At 
  the 
  maximum 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  cut 
  can 
  hardly 
  be 
  more
