Quarry on N side la 382, at west edge of Solon - Quarry about 10' high 
but about 50 to 60 yards west of wall on long slope appears breccia and 
under the breccia brown [[?--ggy]] dolomite marking the base of the 
Solon. About 6 or 7' of Solon with independensis to base of quarry and 5 
1/2 - 6' of same in quarry wall. Gypidula throughbout. S. occidental^ 
throughout. Independensis zone yellowish or buff gray, nodular Is. Shaly 
beds contain hard knots of limestone often with fossils. Corals rare and 
scattered. Wapsipinicon present in road ditch. Our fossils are all from 
the Independensis zone. 
Rocks dip to north at low L showing higher beds at that side of the 
quarry. At top independensis zone comes a layer with small 
Cystiphyllum. If the upper beds are profundum zone. There can be only 
about 4 or 5' of it in the middle of the quarry but the quarry for 20 yds at 
north end is probably profundum, which is therefore probably 8-1 O' thick, 
more massive and less
