Not illustrated. 1912 Excerpt: ...in some instances teredo-bored, and comminuted particles, occurs in both the sands and clays. Some of the thin lamina are made up almost entirely of comminuted vegetable particles. Pieces of lignite resembling charred wood are not uncommon. Both sands and clays are in places coated with yellow sulphur stain. A few A.--Exposure of strata typical of the Black Greek formation overlain by white sands of Pleistocene age, Cape Fear Rivor, Sand Bluff Landing, 3Mi miles below Elizabethtown, N. C. B--Near view of laminated Kinds and clays typical of the Black Creek formation. Cape Fear River, Big Sugar Loaf Landing, 7Vj miles below Elizabethtown, N. C. poorly preserved fossil leaves were obtained here, the following being determinable: Ficus daphnogenoides (Heer) Berry, Sequoia heterophylla Velen. This seel ion is essentially the same, although offering a better exposure, as that at Sand Bluff Landing, above described. The Cretaceous portion of the cliff is nearly vertical and is even undermined in places. Springs come out all along the upper surface of the Cretaceous beds, making little waterfalls along the bluff. Materials similar to the preceding were observed at Little Sugar Loaf Landing, milepost 65; Tom Smith's Landing above milepost 63, where a few dinosaur bones were observed; at Atkinson Landing, milepost 62, where one turtle plate was obtained, and at McCays Landing, milepost 61. Walkers Bluff, milepost 60, presents a fine section of Black Creek materials, which is described in detail below. (See Plate IV, B, opposite p. 117.)
