CASSVILLE PLANT SHALE. 



The Cassville Plant Shale of White and Fontaine 12 that 

 contains numerous plant fossils in Marion and Monongalia 

 Counties was not definitely recognized in Lewis and Gilmer. 

 The Waynesburg Sandstone is usually separated from the 

 Gilboy next below it by 10 to 20 feet of shale, but the almost 

 total absence of Waynesburg Coal, and consequent lack of 

 diggings, and the great amount of talus from the cliff above, 

 combined to make the examination of this horizon fruitless.
