CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE GEOLOGY OF MAINE. 
[BULL. 165. 
The fossils are corals, crinoids, and pieces of brachiopods. The 
better specimens of fossils are from the finer shaly layers next the 
calcareous layers. This exposure is 1098 A 3, and is the typical Ash- 
land shale.

Winslow farm. — In % the section at Winslow's farm there is the 
same confusion, due to the complication between the bedding and 
cleavage planes. This section was examined and reported by Dr. 
Gregory. It is station 1098 K 1-5, and is in the field east of the 
road, on Winslow's farm, 1^ miles south of Ashland. 
At the western end of the section K 1 is a fine-grained calcareous 
sandstone, dark gray in color, with occasional mica grains. It weathers 
to a brown rottenstone. The strike of what appears to be the bedding 
is N. 60° E. ; the dip is 40° to 50° NW. 
Passing eastward over the edges, the next exposure (K 2) is still a 
calcareous sandstone of the same character, with lenticular masses and 
layers of limestone conglomerate, made up of crinoid and coral frag- 
ments and well-worn pebbles of siliceous rock and limestone. The 
contact between the calcareous, shaly sandstone and the conglomerate 
rock is sharp. The whole is much broken up by cleavage and fracture 
planes. The strike and dip are as above. 
At the next exposure eastward, 300 feet east of K 2, is K 3, which 
is a fine-grained gray sandstone, weathering brown, little or not at all 
calcareous. The bedding of this rock, as indicated by darker strata, 
has a strike of N. 35° W. and a dip of 10° NE. What were taken for 
cleavage planes strike N. 45° E., with a dip of 70° NW. This agrees 
better with the structure of adjacent rocks. Other planes of fracture 
strike N. 35° W. , dipping 20° NE. , and strike N. 30° W. , standing verti- 
cal. No fossils were seen in the terrane. Still farther eastward, 100 
feet beyond K 3, an outcrop marked K 4 is seen. This is a sandstone 
shale with calcareous conglomerates. In these calcareous masses are 
fragments of shale, siliceous, well-worn pebbles as large as 3 inches in 
diameter, and fragments of cracked limestone. Beyond this is a large 
mass (K 5) of the fractured limestone, 100 by 8 by 5 feet. No good 
fossils were collected, but the fragments are of the same corals, brachi- 
opods, and other forms seen in the Ashland limestone. 
The rocks are in appearance much like those in Ashland Village, 
with the exception that in the latter exposures the conglomerate mass 
is not so clearly expressed. The fossils in the shale correspond closely 
to the fauna of Ashland shale already listed.
