ville. The rock is a calcarenite, generally gray in color but often pink or reddish. 
This formation has been correlated with the Effna and Lincolnshire formations. 
The latter correlation is certainly wrong because the Effna formation is the par- 
tial equivalent of the Arline formation containing Christiania which overlies the 
Lincolnshire as shown by the Edinburg-Lincolnshire relationship in northern 
Virginia. Prouty (1946, p. 1157) speaks of the Athens formation being younger 
than the Farragut. This, too, is an error because the type Athens is the time 
equivalent of the Arline. Fossils are fairly common in the Farragut but are 
difficult to identify. This is true of most of the calcarenite formations because 
the fossils must be broken out of the rock and specific details of the ornamenta- 
tion are lost. The known brachiopods are: 
Dactylogonia palustris (Willard) 
Leptellina cf. L. elegantula (Butts) 
Multicostella whitesburgensis Butts = M. bursa (Raymond) 
Multicostella sp. 
Oxoplecia holstonensis Willard 
Schizambon sp. 
Correlation of Farragut formation.—This formation appears to be equivalent 
to the Arline and thus a correlate of the Effna. 
Fetzer tongue of Arline formation (B. N. Cooper and G. A. Cooper).— 
This thin but persistent bed is recognized in southeastern belts of the Southern 
Appalachian region from Wytheville, Va., to Georgia. In the type section 
along U. S. Route 64 about 3 miles southwest of Benton Station, Benton 
(T.V.A. 126-NW) Quadrangle, Polk County, Tenn. the tongue consists of 6 
to 8 feet of nodular, crumbly limestone with thin granular interbeds. The divi- 
sion is readily identified by its characteristic assemblage of fossils which includes 
Trinodus elspethi, Bronteopsis gregaria, Nicholsonella, Christiania, Bimuria, T1- 
tanambonites, Cyrtonotella, and other brachiopods of the Arline. The division 
is generally more argillaceous than the underlying beds of the Lenoir limestone. 
The Fetzer is virtually the same unit as the Botetourt limestone member of the 
Edinburg formation of the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. The Fetzer is not as 
silty and hard as the Botetourt but rather partakes of the general lithology of 
the Arline limestone, and is a thin tongue of that formation. The name is taken 
from Fetzer Creek, not far from the type section of the Fetzer along Ocoee 
River. Additional brachiopods are: 
Leptellina tennesseensis Ulrich and Cooper 
Palaeostrophomena superba Cooper 
Titanambonites amplus (Raymond) 
Five Oaks formation—This name was applied in southwestern Virginia 
by Cooper and Prouty (1943, p. 863) to a dove-gray calcilutite overlying the 
Blackford (Elway) formation and underlying the Lincolnshire formation. No 
brachiopods have been taken from it. This is one of the several calcilutites mis- 
taken for the Mosheim of Tennessee. The Five Oaks actually is higher in the 
section than the true Mosheim, which is a part of the Lenoir formation. The 
latter is a partial equivalent of the Blackford formation below the Five Oaks.
