S.M. Brown's Quarris - SW 1/4 22-7-21
The limestone here is the same as at Pettibone's three miles below. It forms the north bank of the Menomonee, and rises to about the same height above the surface, so that its inclination is the same as the descent in the river which is ascertained to be about fifty feet - hence the dip is about 17 feet per mile course s. 70 degrees east. the stone is only used for manufacture of lime, being of no use as a building material. The lime produced from it is good. The fossils here are less distinct - indeed it is almost impossible to find a specimen showing sufficient character to distinguish the kinds. A little above this quarry an opening has been made where the rock is of softer texter, the cells or [illegible] are smaller and more uniform, and the color of the rock approaches a dirty yellow. It belongs to the same stratum
