401. Well near Parker, Randolph County.

This is the log of a well near the eastern edge of an oil pool that extends westward 
Inearly to Muncie. The formations penetrated are, in downward order, clay, sand, and 
gravel of the drift (Pleistocene); Niagara limestone (Silurian); Cincinnati and Utica shale 
and Trenton limestone (Ordovician) . As the well went into "Trenton rock" for 500 feet 
jjit is possible that the limestone last penetrated is older than Trenton age.
