Summary

Description
English: Plate II from Tolchester Folio, Maryland, which has the following caption:
VERTICALLY JOINTED CLAY OF RARITAN FORMATION IN WAVE-CUT CLIFF, WORTON POINT, KENT COUNTY.

The text of the publication states:

The formation consists of diverse materials similar to those composing the Patapsco formation, except that, in general, the clays are not so highly colored. White and buff sands; stratified light chocolate-colored sandy clays, in places containing leaf impressions; light-colored argillaceous sands and sandy clays (fuller's earth); and white, yellow, drab, bluish-drab, and variegated clays all occur in deposits of this age. The variegated clays are well exposed in the steep bluff at Worton Point. (See Pl. II.) The delicate pinkish tints which they present at many places have given rise to the local name "peach-blossom clays."
