The section is covered where Mud Branch enters the river but a short distance west the top of the Laurel appears and scattered blocks of Waldron with [[underline]] Plectambonites tennesseensis, Stephanocrinus [[/underline]] and other fossils.  Then follows the Laurel and the Dixon and finally the Beech River forming most of the bluff west of Clifton.  This is the west limb of an anticline the center or axis of which is near the point where the power line crosses the river.  Going east of the power line the Hermitage forms the bank for a long distance, nearly to the hotel.  This is overlain by Arnhein and the Fernvale which is exposed below the hotel and at the Ferry landing.  Farther east the Silurian sequence is repeated on the east limb of the anticline
