Interesting study of rock from university well depth
The University engineering department sank a well to 365 feet for a larger water supply. The drill passed through yellow shale, quartz sandstone, blue sandstone with fossils, and a hard conglomerate before reaching deeper blue sandstone. A temporary rumor of a subterranean cavity arose when the rope parted at 340 feet, but measurements showed no cavity and the well was recovered. The new supply is ample and among the best in the area.
