[[left margin vertical]] Gray calcarenite occurs in the "Up Lenoir". The Effna rock is in the Athens interval just on top of the Bimuria beds. [[/left margin vertical]]

On top of the Lenoir comes finely cobbled sandy limestone containing Christiania and Bimuria, the latter in abundance. About 400' of this rock are present. Bimuria ranges throughout. Above this interval comes a sequence of shale, often nearly black, and lenses or tongues of cobbly ls. of Up. Lenoir type and the top one containing Bimuria and Atelelosma.

Below this upper zone and just on the NW side of Gulley cemetery occurs a bed of calcarenite with Holston type fossils. This is definitely in the upper Lenoir interval. Thus the Athens shale and "Lenoir" actually interfinger.

Along the road leading south of Tenn 66A and just W of Mills Pond are Athens shales exposed for about 3/4 mile. At the road intersection just N of Robertson Creek cobbly ls in yellow shale contained Sowerbyella and a large rafinesquinoid.

In afternoon we discovered "Whitesburg" trilobites in the field about 1/4 mile SSE of White Horn.

In yellow Sevier type shale at the church in Guthrie Gap. platy ls. containing cystid stem frequently yielded Zygospira and Oligorhynchia. We believe these represent the Witten horizon. Above this horizon the yellow shales are overlain by quartzite and red - beds of the Bays formation
