lithology. Behind the Friends Church in Friendsville, Mosheim is also under- 
lain by calcarenites abounding in typical Lenoir species. Thus the Mosheim is 
a part of the Lenoir, but it is discontinuous and appears at different levels in the 
Lenoir. This type of rock containing a fairly definite molluscan fauna can be 
seen as far southwest as the Cahaba Valley of Alabama, and to the northeast it 
is known in south-central Virginia, as at Marion where it overlies calcarenites 
containing fossils, in both places like those behind the Friends Church. The 
Mosheim fauna contains few brachiopods, but the few that have been found 
are unusual types: 
Rostricellula basalaris Cooper 
Stenocamara bicostata Cooper 
S. perplexa Cooper 
Murat formation.—This is also a facies rather than a formation and is litho- 
logically like the “Holston” of Tennessee. It is not, however, of the same age 
as the Holston and is more usually a gray limestone, particularly in its type 
region. The Murat is a calcarenite equivalent of the dark, cherty Lincolnshire 
formation. Fingers of the Lincolnshire can be seen in the calcarenite near Lex- 
ington, also in localities on the Pressmens Home Quadrangle, Tenn. Numer- 
ous brachiopods have been taken from the formation but, like those of the so- 
called Holston limestone and Meadow marble, are difficult to identify because of 
poor preservation.

Nealmont formation.—The name was proposed by Kay (1944, p. 97) for a 
sequence of limestones exposed in all the belts of central Pennsylvania. It con- 
sists of three members from the base up: Oak Hall, Centre Hall, and Rodman. 
The formation is composed of limestone and is correlated with the lower part of 
the Trenton. The brachiopods are listed under the separate members except for 
those listed below for which data relating them to the members are lacking: 
Ancistrorhyncha australis (Foerste) Pionodema sulcata Cooper 
Craniops trentonensis (Hall) Zygospira elongata Cooper 
New Market formation.—This name was proposed by B. N. Cooper and 
G. A. Cooper (1946, p. 71) for calcilutites overlying the Knox formation but 
underling the Lincolnshire formation. The type section is in the Madden Quarry 
0.65 miles west of New Market, Va. To the northeast of the type section the 
New Market thickens and its stratigraphy becomes complex. Neuman (1951, 
p. 286) amplified the New Market formation and identified the so-called “Low- 
ville” underlying the Chambersburg formation (Shippensburg of Craig) as New 
Market. Cooper and Cooper (1946, p. 69) identified the New Market forma- 
tion underneath an 800-foot sequence of “Stones River” which immediately 
underlies the “Lowville.””’ The New Market of Cooper and Cooper near Marion,
