148 STRATIGRAPHY THE CONEMAUGE SERIES. 



reports in a personal communication that it is present in 

 typical marine development along the Little Kanawha River, 

 1.1 miles southeast of Burnsville, where it is 85 feet below the 

 Elk Lick Coal. Since the limestone at Orlando might de- 

 ceive others as well as the writer, if left unclassified, it will 

 be named the Orlando Limestone in this Report. It has later 

 been found by the writer at Buckhannon, Upshur County, 

 where it directly overlies the Elk Lick Coal, and comes 60 to 

 70 feet above the fossiliferous Ames. Plate XX illustrates its 

 typical appearance at Orlando. 



THE ELK LICK COAL. 



The Elk Lick Coal of the First Geological Survey of Penn- 

 sylvania, belonging just under the Morgantown Sandstone, is 

 absent or poorly represented in most of the two counties, but 

 in southern Lewis it thickens to a seam of commercial size. 

 Its areal extent and character, together with detailed sections, 

 will be presented in Chapter XI, under the subject of "Coal." 



THE ELK LICK LIMESTONE. 



The Elk Lick Limestone of Messrs. Pratt 12 is but poorly 

 represented in Lewis and Gilmer, only a few exposures being 

 observed. Its occurrence is too infrequent to make it of eco- 

 nomic importance. In Hackers Creek District, Lewis, boulders 

 of this limestone were observed on a branch of Maxwell Run, 

 0.8 mile northeast of Deanville, at an elevation of 1080' B. 

 At the Reed Pumping Station on Left Fork of Freemans Creek 

 in Freemans Creek District, a hard gray limestone one foot 

 thick was observed 10 feet below the Morgantown Sandstone, 

 at an elevation of 1023' L. In the same district, it was ob- 

 served on a branch of Dry Fork of Polk Creek, 2.2 miles south 

 of Freemansburg, where it is hard and gray, coming 9 feet 

 below the Morgantown Sandstone, and having an elevation of 

 1100' B. In Gilmer it was observed at Valley Post-Office on 

 Right Fork of Steer Creek, Center District, where it is 6 inches 

 thick, bedded in red shale, at an elevation of 730' B.
