Mosheim - like beds at Philadelphia and Lenoir City. The beds at the two places do not look alike. At Philadelphia the Mosheim was not a continuous deposit but the Mosheim lithology was spotty appearing in earthy calcareous, shaly weathering beds. The presence of Maclurites links the type Mosheim to the lower Lenoir.

Type Lenoir from what we have seen seems to consist of about 150' from top down as follows:

Firm fine grained gray limestone with Maclurites and chert in the upper part. ------------ 75 - 100'

Shaly limestone crumbling into small cobbles with Valcourea, Hesperorthis, Mimella, sponges and corals ------ 30' - 40'

Dolomitic shaly weathering earthy rock with masses or layers of Mosheim - like rock and granular layers and masses with snails and Rostricellula --- 10'

This is the type Lenoir and seems to be represented in Friendsville by "Mosheim", shaly beds with Valcourea and corals, firm, Athens like limestone becoming cherty at top. This entire sequence extends up to Christiania but does not include it.

Check "Holston" from Jeff City are that Bridge collected at Mosheim level.
