Fine-grained clay just above a thin layer of phosphatic nodules. Hopkins County, Texas. Locality 5.—Station 3. Good exposure in deep roadside ditch on steep hill 0.2 of a mile east of road corner in north end of town of Commerce on highway to Paris. This gray to buff, silty clay con- tains many fragments of shells and an abundance of foraminiferal tests. Hunt County, Texas. Locality 6.—Station 3A. Gully in field west of north-south stretch of road about 3 miles in a straight line northwest of Campbell or 4 miles by road from that town on highway to Neyland. Compact, buff-gray clay that reduces with difficulty in the washing process to a small residue of fine quartz particles, very few glauconitic grains, and several species of typical basal Midway Foraminifera. Hunt County, Texas. Locality 7.—Station 16. Excellent exposure in a 35-foot bank at Burton’s Bluff on Trinity River at the end of a trail through the woods 1.3 miles north of Trinity Valley Store on the Kerens-Athens road about 1 mile east of the river. This very dark-blue to almost black, silty clay contains numerous large concretions, thin seams 111 112 FIELDIANA: GEOLOGY, VOLUME 13 of selenite, and small gypsiferous nodules. Henderson County, Texas. Locality 8.—Station 21. Rocky Ford Bluff on Trinity River about 7.5 miles northeast of Kerens. The high bank exposes excellently the dark-gray to black, slightly silty clay that contains a few well- preserved fossils and numerous rounded limonite concretions that range from an inch to eighteen inches in diameter. Navarro County, Texas. Locality 9.—Station 23. Shallow ditch at road corner southeast of new Corsicana reservoir on the road to Mildred. The dark-blue to nearly black, siltless clay breaks with ball fracture and contains small limonite concretions, numerous small gastropods, otoliths, and a great abundance of Foraminifera. Navarro County, Texas. Locality 10.—Station 24. Road cut near top of hill on Corsicana- Navarro road just south of the junction with the road to Mildred. Light-gray to blue-gray, laminated clay with a few blotches of silt. Stratigraphically about 20 feet above station 23. Navarro County, Texas. Locality 11.—Station 29. Exposure in side of steep west-facing hill on Richland-Streetman road 1.5 miles southeast of Richland, where roads branch off both northeast and southwest with a short offset. This blue-gray, fine-grained, conchoidal, concretionary clay is cut by numerous joint lines that are impregnated with limonite. The samples wash down to a very small residue of tiny ferruginous particles, shell fragments, and an abundance of typical upper Mid- way Foraminifera. Navarro County, Texas. Locality 12.—Station 33. Cistern excavation 0.8 of a mile south- east of Currie on the road to the Currie oil field. Gray, fine-textured, slightly silty clay containing large boulder-like concretions. Navarro County, Texas. Locality 13.—Station 36. Exposure along an east-west road about three-quarters of a mile north of New Hope between two creeks. This dark-blue, concretionary clay is rich in specimens and species. Freestone County, Texas. Locality 14.—Station 37. Deep stream gully one-half mile west of New Hope on south side of bridge. The material here exposed consists mostly of silty clays and silts containing large, rough-sur- faced concretions and a few fossils. The sample reduced by washing to some quartz sand, considerable glauconite, and numerous fora- miniferal tests of the upper Midway faunule. Freestone County, Texas. NITECKI: TYPE SPECIMENS OF FORAMINIFERA 113 Locality 15.—Station 40. Exposure along a small branch about three-quarters of a mile northwest of Tehuacana, and 0.2 of a mile north of the Tehuacana-Waco road on the first road turning north. The freshest clay exposed along this cut is yellowish-gray, and it weathers to a deeper yellow color above. It has fine texture and contains a few gypsum nodules and seams of white powdery gypsum. Shell fragments are frequent, and the Foraminifera are so large and abundant as to be visible to the naked eye. The contact with the Navarro lies down the creek about 300 feet west of the road and is marked by a thin bed of yellow sand. All samples of Midway clay along this exposure washed down to small residues composed of very small gypsum particles and flakes, shell fragments, and Foraminifera. The material chosen to represent this outcrop was taken from the bottom of a 15-foot bank at the head of the branch east of the road, for here the clay is the freshest and furnishes the best-preserved specimens of the Foraminifera. Limestone County, Texas. Locality 16.—Station 48. Still higher in the section of Tehuacana Creek 200 feet east of the Mexia-Wortham road bridge. Dark fos- siliferous clays. Limestone County, Texas. Locality 17.—Station 45. Roadside exposure on steep north-facing hill one-half mile east of the Mexia-Wortham road and about one- half mile south of Tehuacana Creek. Compact, dark-gray, fine- grained, slightly silty clay. Limestone County, Texas. Locality 18.—Station 46. Clay pit, Mexia Brick Works, about 1 mile west of the town of Mexia. The pit is about 25 feet deep and 300 feet in diameter. The bottom of the excavation furnishes very fresh, dark-blue, siltless clay that breaks with subconchoidal fracture and contains poorly preserved shell fragments. The mate- rial washes down easily to a small residue containing ferruginous flakes and an abundance of excellently preserved Foraminifera that belong strictly to the upper Midway faunule and indicate a low posi- tion in this zone above the Tehuacana limestone horizon. Limestone County, Texas. Locality 19.—Station 57. Along a small creek about a quarter of a mile north of a school on the north side of the Tracy-Cameron high- way and about 1.5 miles from Tracy by road. The outcropping clays here yield an abundance of upper Midway species of Foraminifera. Milam County, Texas. Locality 20.—Station 63. Ditch along Elgin-Austin road 1.4 miles northeast of Littig close to the county line (Bastrop quadrangle). Uj HERSpry OF ; 114 FIELDIANA: GEOLOGY, VOLUME 13 The yellow, sandy, gypsiferous clay contains fragments of shells. Bastrop County, Texas. Locality 21.—Station 64. Gully close to the short northwest- southeast road about 2.5 miles S. 25° E. of Littig (Bastrop quad- rangle). Compact, siltless, dark-blue clay contains a layer rich in shell fragments. Bastrop County, Texas. Locality 22.—Station 65. About 5.25 miles due south and very slightly west of Littig, where the 440-foot contour cuts a northeast- southwest road (Bastrop quadrangle), there is an outcrop of glau- conitic sand containing corals. Bastrop County, Texas. Locality 23.—Station 67. Excellent exposure in base of high bluff on west side of Colorado River between the Travis-Bastrop county line and the mouth of Dry Creek (Bastrop quadrangle). This dark- green to black, highly fossiliferous, clay mar] below a thick covering of terrace and alluvium extends for about 150 feet along the river at moderately high water level. At the time the collection was made, only the upper five feet of the outcrop were exposed, and the samples studied have been restricted to this portion. The clay collected from the upper part of this exposure required long soaking in a strong solu- tion of sodium carbonate and some rubbing in the washing process to eliminate the argillaceous content. The final clean residue presents an abundance of foraminiferal tests, shell fragments, and otoliths. Bastrop County, Texas. Locality 24.—Station 69. Exposure in north bank of Cedar Creek 200 feet west of the bridge 0.4 of a mile southeast of the corner for- merly occupied by Williams Store (Austin quadrangle). Compact, very fossiliferous clay at the base of the bank. Bastrop County, Texas. Locality 25.—Station 85. Alamo Brick Company clay pit south- east of San Antonio (San Antonio topographic sheet) on the north side of the road leading southeast from the city and about one- quarter of a mile from the area broken up into city blocks; just be- yond the brickyard the road forks, one branch leading to Gonzales, the other to Sutherland Springs. The compact clay from the bot- tom of this excellent exposure washes down to a small residue that carries charas, otoliths, small gastropods, and a large number of Fora- minifera of the upper Midway faunal unit. Bexar County, Texas. Locality 26.—Grayson Bluff, a high, southwest-facing bluff on Denton Creek, 3.5 miles northeast of Roanoke, 2 miles by road east of the Fort Worth-Denton highway. Denton County, Texas. NITECKI: TYPE SPECIMENS OF FORAMINIFERA 115 Locality 27.—Clay about 5 feet below the Midway greensand, bank of Walker Creek, 6 miles N. 15° E. of Cameron. Milam County, Texas.
