Visited sections on RR cut about 2 mi NE of Athens courthouse. Exposure not good and mostly of leached sandy shale of a bright yellow to yellow-brown color. Exposure at RR-highway crossing at 948 consisted of sandy - calcareous shale with calcareous nodules. [[underlined]] Lonchodomas [[/underlined]] is abundant. The nodes here suggested Whitesburg to me but the ls is not granular.

Second section seen is 2 - 3 miles SE of Charleston Tenn in Henniger Bluff along Hiawasee River where river and highway come close together.

Lenoir - exposed at west end of exposures and consists of nodular limestone with calcareous shaly to sandy partinge. We did not see the exact contact with the Knox and we saw no rhynchonellids at the base. The lower 30' - 40' of nodular limestone contained small Glyptorthis, Valcourea and Orthambonites together with numerous bryzoa. The uppermost 20' of Lenoir are quite different from the lower nodular beds in being irregularly bedded somewhat calcareous silty rock with many Chistiania.

Athens - overlies Lenoir and consists in lower part calcareous shales weathering to ash gray and having a dark gray color. We saw [[underlined]] no [[/underlined]] black shale in the sequence. Lenticular layers and nodules occur but they are very poorly fossiliferous. They are
