PART I CHAZYAN AND RELATED BRACHIOPODS—COOPER 103 
ing the members of the Stones River group below the Carters as equivalent to 
the New York Chazy. Brachiopods from the upper Carters are: 
Camerella bella Fenton 
Chaulistomella lebanonensis Cooper 
Chaulistomella sp. 1 
Craniops attenuata Cooper (in Alabama) 
Doleroides tennesseensis Cooper 
Fascifera sulcata Cooper 
Hesperorthis “tricenaria” 
Opikina varia Cooper 
Oxoplecia planulata Cooper (Alabama) 
Sowerbyella subcarinata (Ulrich) (Alabama) 
Strophomena filitexta = S. auburnensis nasuta Cooper (Sequatchie Valley) 
S. platyuwmbona Cooper (Alabama) 
Zygospira circularis Cooper 
Correlation of Carters formation.—The Carters formation is identified in the 
Appalachian Valley and Sequatchie Valley with the Hardy Creek and Cane Creek 
formations of southwestern Virginia. 
“Kimmswick” limestone.—Ulrich (1911, p. 310) reported Kimmswick lime- 
stone near Aspen Hill, Giles County, Tenn. This rock, which is a coarse cal- 
carenite about 35 feet thick, contains the ball-cystid Echinosphaerites and Re- 
ceptaculites oweni, both characteristic of the Kimmswick of Missouri. C. W. 
Wilson (1949, p. 66), in mapping the Carters formation, discovered that the 
lower Carters member grades into the calcarenites of the “Kimmswick” and 
that typical Carters fossils occur in the Kimmswick facies as well as in the lower 
Carters facies. This, then, is corroboratory evidence that the Kimmswick of 
Tennessee equals Carters and that the Carters itself is of Trenton age. Brachio- 
pods reported from the Tennessee “Kimmswick”’ are: 
Rafinesquina cf. R. minnesotensis 
Rhynchotrema minnesotensis 
Strophomena cf. S. scofieldi = Furcitella scofieldi (Winchell and Schuchert) 
Correlation of “Kimmswick” limestone.—It is suggested here that this “Kimms- 
wick,” which is a facies of the Carters, correlates with the Oranda formation of 
the Appalachian Valley. The latter formation also contains a large Receptaculites 
but is probably older than the Kimmswick of the Mississippi Valley which con- 
tains Platystrophia, a genus not yet taken in the Appalachians as low as the 
Oranda. 
Hermitage formation.—The Carters is succeeded by a complete change of 
lithology and fauna. The Hermitage, as displayed in the vicinity of Woodbury, 
Cannon County, Tenn., introduces a fauna characterized by large Dinorthis and 
Heterorthis clytie. C. W. Wilson (1949, pp. 82-88) places this part of the 
Hermitage formation in the Curdsville member. The Curdsville fauna of Ken- 
tucky and the Appalachian Valley, however, is quite different from that of the 
Central Basin. In the Appalachians the Curdsville contains a large Dinorthis, to 
be sure, but it also is teeming with Sowerbyella curdsvillensis and Hesperorthis 
tricenaria. The assemblage, besides lacking Heterorthis, is quite different from
