FLORIDA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY-I 4 TH ANNUAL REPORT 
Record of well No. 1 of Bonheur Development Company. Well located at 
Burns, in Wakulla County, sixteen miles south of Tallahassee. Based on samples 
collected by Mr. B. M. Cates and submitted to the Florida Geological Survey. Well 
begun May 1, 1916, completed June 1, 1919, to total depth of 2,169 feet. 1 
Depth in feet. 
The limestone at the surface at this locality is the Chattahoochee forma¬ 
tion, and is the same rock that is found on the Apalachicola River 
near River Junction, and on the Suwannee River near Live Oak. 
The sample from the depth of 50 feet is a light-colored limestone 
which contains a few echinoderm spines and small foraminifera... 50 
The rock at this depth is a brown, porous limestone. Aside from echino¬ 
derm spines, no fossils were found in this sample. 100 
Light-colored limestone predominates, although there is some limestone 
of a brownish color. Thin, flat foraminifera, much broken up by the 
drill, are present.... 150 
Chiefly a brown limestone, some of it powdered fine. Echinoderm and 
small, round foraminifera; also flat foraminifera.. 180 
Dark-colored material. Contains a good deal of clay, which shrinks and 
breaks on drying, and is colored black by organic matter. With the 
clay is found fragments of limestone rock... 185 
Brown limestone. Some echinoderm spines and flat, thin foraminifera. 250 
Light-colored limestone. Shell fragments... 325 
Light-colored limestone. Occasional foraminifera; otherwise few fossils 400- 600 
Light-colored granular limestone. Salty water. Bryozoan. Nummulites- 
like foraminifera. Small sea urchin... 700 
Finely powdered limestone, perhaps somewhat water sorted in collecting. 
Few fossils, altho contains some foraminifera as preceding sample... 800 
Finely powdered light colored limestone, water sorted when collected 
(settlings from side of ditch). 900 
The rock at this depth differs from that which lies above in that it is 
more completely silicified. It is a limestone, altho much of the lime¬ 
stone has been changed to silica. The limestone is light colored, the 
altered, silicified rock is opaque and has a glassy or chalcedony¬ 
like appearance. The sample contains few fossils aside from foram¬ 
inifera as in the preceding sample..... 920 
Limestone similar to the preceding or perhaps more thoroughly silicified. 
The opaque or slightly brownish colored rock predominates, and there 
is but little of the light-colored limestone rock. The only fossil 
observed is the small foraminifera which, in this sample, is particu¬ 
larly abundant ..j. 940 
Same rock, same character and contains same foraminifera as the preced¬ 
ing sample . 950 
This sample for the most part is the same silicified rock and contains the 
same small foraminifera as the preceding sample. It contains, how¬ 
ever, a little more of the light-colored limestone in proportion to 
the flint .. 953 
Light-colored limestone, including a small amount of silicified rock. 
Aside from occasional small foraminifera, no fossils observed. 960 
Light-colored limestone. Small foraminifera present. No other fossils 
observed .. ' . 970 
Light-colored limestone, including some silicified rock. Foraminifera 
present ...... ..... . . -980
