2 miles west of Gate City the quarry is in the Holston? At top of quarry on N side cherty limestones contain dinorthis, Rhynchocaniara, Sowerbyites and many bryozoa. Below this bed about 20' occurs a shaly layer with many bryozoa. These fossil beds are about 300' above the Knox. Above the fossil beds in the Holston ls? The Holston? is overlain by OHosse with Echinosphaerites. I think this OHosee may equal the yellow shale () that occurs above the third limestone and below the Moccasin at Eidson. If this be so the OHosee at Gate City is a higher bed than that at Eidson
