Left Rome and went north on US 27 to see localities visited in 1939. About 15' yellow sandy shale and thin ls. under the main locality. This contains abundant Fascifera. Above this comes some 20' of thin bedded ls with shale partings abounding in fossils. These undoubtedly underlie the Hesperorthis beds seen on the highway in 1939.

Went to see the section along the highway south of Chicamauga Creek not far north of Catlett Gap. At the bridge over the Creek are thin-bedded ls., mud - cracked and with Ostrocods. On the highway are hard limestone weathering with a crust and suggesting the Peery. Above these the section is covered. Then comes a small thickness of Mosheim - like ls. that Butts called Mosheim. All below this lie placed in the Murfreesboro.

Above the Mosheim are some 30' - 40' of cherty limestone called Ridley = Lenoir by Butts.

Just at the road forks the rock gives way from massive limestone with chert to shale and platy ls. with abundant Fascifera and Rostricellula. This division is all of 20 - 25' thick
