Seite 443 - Selnia chalk. No investigations have yet been made concerning it, for the reason that there are comparatively few points where it appears in adequate thickness and in favorable localities as regards transportation. At Marshalls Landing, just above the mouth of Randons Creek, is the first exposure of the chimney rock along Alabama River.
Seite 451 - Underlying the cement-rock series is a very thick formation consisting of light-gray to light-blue massive-bedded limestone, with frequent beds of chert. These limestones are predominantly -highly magnesian, though occasionally beds of pure nonmagnesian limestone will be found in the series. The magnesian beds are, of course, valueless for Portland-cement manufacture, but the pure limestone beds furnish part of the limestone used in the Lehigh district for addition to the cement rock. An excellent...

Seite 435 - ... (3) The Selma chalk, which is of marine origin, and is composed, in part at least, of the microscopic shells of Foraminifera. This formation, throughout the western part of the belt covered by it in Alabama, is about 1,000 feet in thickness, and is made up of beds of chalky and more or less argillaceous limestone. In a general way it may be said that the lower and upper thirds of the formation contain 25 per cent...

This, like the preceding, is a marine formation, in which, generally, the calcareous constituents predominate, but in places it contains sandy and clayey beds. From this summary it will be seen that the Selma chalk is the...
