Whitesburg type section -
Some 20' of Mosheim followed by 30' of Lenoir with large Opikina and Maclurites. This is overlain by some 25' of yellow-weathering shaly ls. in which we found Christiania. Above this are Upper Lenoir-type of cobbly beds. Many of the cobbles are granular ls & have a shaly surface with some fossils. These are the Whiteburg fossils and there are some 10' of this material. It is overlain by platy Athens ls. of smooth dark gray texture and is like the Athens of Virginia

Visited Lenoir beds at Marion and then went on to Meadow View to see beds at Geisler Mill. 2.1 miles NE of junction with VA 80 from Geisler Mill locality occurs a sequence of Mosheim followed by Maclurites, then [[strikethrough]] another layer [[/strikethrough]] a layer of dolomitized Maclurites beds. This is followed by more Mosheim-like rock and then comes nodular ls. with Dinorthis atavoides? This is followed by Athens
