  SECTION

  Red

  Conesville, 
  390 
  feet 
  above 
  red 
  stratum 
  at 
  Gilboa 
  

  

  It 
  is 
  thought 
  that 
  the 
  elevations 
  of 
  the 
  above 
  section 
  are 
  fairly 
  

   accurate 
  since 
  Conesville 
  is 
  1382 
  feet 
  A. 
  T., 
  which 
  makes 
  the 
  

   elevation 
  of 
  High 
  Knob 
  2637 
  feet 
  A. 
  T., 
  only 
  17 
  feet 
  less 
  than 
  that 
  

   determined 
  by 
  Guyot. 
  As 
  far 
  as 
  the 
  rocks 
  are 
  exposed, 
  the 
  

   greater 
  part 
  of 
  High 
  Knob 
  seems 
  to 
  be 
  composed 
  of 
  coarse, 
  gray 
  

   sandstones 
  alternating 
  with 
  shales 
  except 
  toward 
  the 
  top 
  where 
  

   reddish 
  sandstones 
  and 
  shales 
  occur. 
  One 
  of 
  the 
  ledges 
  of 
  gray 
  

   sandstone 
  near 
  the 
  road 
  to 
  the 
  southeast 
  of 
  High 
  Knob 
  has 
  a 
  dip 
  

   of 
  nearly 
  1° 
  to 
  the 
  east 
  of 
  south. 
  No 
  fossils 
  were 
  found 
  in 
  the
