STRATIGRAPHY OF FOSSILIFEROUS MEMBERS

In Lick Township, several miles northeast of Jackson, the same 

 fossil occurs in the fissile shales and black band ore interbedded with 

 the coal. In the western part of Section 21 at the mouth of the old 

 coal mine on the land of D. D. Evans, good collecting material is sup- 

 plied by the piles of shale thrown out from the mine. The section 

 below was made at this place (Locality 15) i 1

Black band ore with Naiadites elongata is exposed in the stream 

 bed on the property of Mrs. John Butts in the central part of Section 5. 

 The material is shaly, red or gray in color, and slabs containing fossils 

 can be obtained easily from the stream bed. The following members 

 constitute the section here (Locality 16): 2

Vinton County. The black band ore above the Bear Run coal is 

 sparingly fossiliferous on Elk Fork, in the western part of Section 6, 

 Elk Township. The ore occurs about 100 feet below the Lower Mercer 

 limestone. The geologic section and the fossils collected here follow
