STRATIGRAPHY OF FOSSILIFEROUS MEMBERS 39 



Muskingum County. Where the Boggs member is typically de- 

 veloped in Muskingum County, it consists of a limestone associated 

 with or replaced by shale, flint, iron ore, or sandstone. On land of 

 Delia Wise, Hopewell Township, flint and iron ore mark the horizon. 1 

 The limestone phase is shown on land of Delard Fink, Section 18 of 

 the same township, where the following section was measured, but no 

 collections were made: 2

On the land of 0. J. Higgle in the northeastern part of Section 18, 

 Hopewell Township, the limestone is coarse and siliceous in character, 

 and exceedingly fossiliferous. Extensive collections were made in the 

 bed of the small stream just west of the road (Locality 26). Collect- 

 ing is good as the fossils are abundant, well preserved, and easily ob- 

 tained.
