First visited section about 2 miles SW of Philadelphia to see Lenoir. Went up hill on S side road to see upper Lenoir. Lenoir is probably 150' thick. Above it comes about 200' of pink marble which is probably true Holston and is in the position of the "Upper Lenoir". Shale succeeds the marble.
After seeing Lenoir we went down to Sweetwater and took Madisonville road to SE. Saw Athens with trilobites about 4 1/2 miles SE, then thick Tellico above it. In Tellico saw and collected from a cobbly bed containing Dinorthis. This is the same bed as Butts collected at Miser.
1/4 mile N of Christiansburg saw some 25 - 30' of limestone underlying Athens shale. Limestone contained large Sowerbyites, bryozoa and Leptellina and probably belongs with the Athens. The Athens is the same as that NE of Christiansburg seen last year. Drove through section southeast of Christiansburg but added no new information.
The big Sowerbyites should be checked as a possible Lenoir fossil. The specimen of Sowerbyites-like shell found by Wang in the Billings area zone should be examined in this connection.
