SECOND ANNUAL, REPORT—EURRERS EARTH.

The section at Chattahoochee Landing accordingly represents the north 
incline of one of these small folds. 
A section made at this locality by Harris is contained in Maury’s 
“Oligocene of the Southern United States,” and as it was presented in 
graphic form is republished for comparison. (Text Fig. 4). At the 
time Harris’ section was made the four feet of marly limestone (No. 
9 of the writer’s section) lying at the level 99 to 103 feet above the 
river was not exposed. Aside from this point the writer’s section 
agrees in the main with that made by Harris. Sections made by Dali 
and Vaughan at or near this place have been included in the report on 
stratigraphy (p. 79). Dali’s section may have been made along a 
road leading from the landing different from the road now in use as 
the measurements given by him do not correspond to the section now 
exposed. 
An instructive partial section may be seen along the Atlantic Coast 
Line Railroad one-half to one mile northeast of River Junction station. 
At a distance of about one-half mile from the station a shallow cut 
exposes the north slope of a small anticline. The section in this cut 
is as follows: 
Thickness Height above river 
of stratum, (stage of Mar. 5,1909). 
2. Time clay stratum similar to strata seen 
in the section at Chattahoochee 
Landing . 7 feet 414 * to 48*4 feet. 
1. Pale yellow sandy limestone. 4 feet 374 to 414 feet. 
The direction of the change of level in this exposure is north of 
northeast, and the dip is at the rate of slightly more than 100 feet per 
mile. 
A small stream cuts across about one-eighth mile beyond this cut 
and exposes the bottom or near the bottom of this syncline. In this 
stream a lime-clay stratum apparently the same as the above is seen 
lying at a level 34 feet above the river stage of March 5, 1909. 
Beyond the stream the strata rise, forming a second anticline. A 
shallow cut somewhat less than one-eighth mile beyond the stream gives 
the following section. 
Thickness 
of stratum. 
2. Light colored sandy limestone. 2 feet 
1. Lime-clay stratum .64 feet 
Height above river 
( stage of Mar. 5,1909). 
41.)4 to 4324 feet. 
35^4 to 4124 feet. 
The observed rate of dip in this exposure is approximately 100 feet 
per mile in a direction south of southwest. 
The top of this anticline is reached and passed in a shallow cut 
about one-seventh of a mile beyond and across a second small branch. 
This cut gives the following section:
