October 19 - Saw section on West Chickamauga Creek. As nearly as we could determine the base of the beds on the creek are just about the base of the Murfreesboro. I think that the creek may have cut down on the contact.
Taking the right fork of the road there is an exposure of Benbolt-like rock at the top of a low hill. This overlies a thick yellow shale and it underlies Hesperornis beds we think are Wardell.
The quarry 1 1/2 S of Cove Church seems to be in Wardell and lower Lebanon. The combination of species suggest Wardell rather than high Lebanon.
The Hesperornis beds north of Rock Spring must be in the Wardell also. The Ridley then would include most of the shaly beds above the Maclurites ls. 
The big cut on the north bank of Chicamauga Creek on US 27 is same Benbolt-like bed as that seen this morning.
