The clay was formed by the alter ation of the dust-like particles of vol cans ash as they fell into a shallow inland sea. Such a body of water covered the region millions of years ago during the geological period when limestones were being formed. Evidence of the action has been found in six beds, each from one to nine inches thick, and grouped in zones. Four are found in ono forma tion, two in another, and one in a third. According to Professor Bon me, these zones are separated by ap proximately one million years. Volcanic vents from which ash was blown have not been discovered by the investigators. They believe that the vents are probably located farther south In Kentucky or Virginia, where beds of similar material, several feet thick, have been found.
