Went to Hagan to study cherty ls. at base of section. Here two cherty ls. occur. This is true also at Walnut School on Wheeler D. The lower cherty ls had big Leperditia and fasciculate Strophomena suggesting Elway. Then followed a thick calcarenite, possibly the Oligorhynchia zone. Then came the upper cherty zone but we found no fossils to prove it was Ward Cove. The upper chert at Hagan has many snails suggestive of Peery ls.

Left Cumberland Gap and went over to Lone Mtn. Here 1 1/2 miles NE of Lone Mtn. and on the Lone Mountain to Tagewell road is a long sequence. About 1/2 mile north of intersection are rocks Butts called Mosheim overlying cherty ls representing the Peery Ward Cove sequence. On the Mosheim is a layer of cherty ls overlain by shaly and thin bedded ls. containing Doleroides,

Transcription Notes:
I am probably doing this all wrong, but I transcribed this page originally. Someone edited to remove the 'en' from encircled and remove spaces between [[...]] and the word like this [[.]]4[[.]] which is not per the instructions that clearly show spacing, as well as to add extra lines between all paragraphs. The writer only added an extra line between two of the paragraphs; however the editor added lines to all which doesn't make any sense to me. Not sure the significance of the editing, seems like wasted effort to do just what I noted. If there were words that were spelled incorrectly, or if there were words I couldn't transcribe and this was corrected, I could see the effort. Feel as if I am wasting my time on transcribing any of this. Encircle means to form a circle around Circled means to travel around a curved path
