157 Devonian of Southern Indiana 29 



The thin limestone formation of this se<5lion at the top of the 

 Black shale is of particular interest because it occupies the same 

 stratigraphic horizon as the Rockford limestone thirty miles to 

 the west and carries the typical New Providence shale fauna, 

 which is entirely unlike that of the Rockford limestone. The 

 following species were obtained from it: 



Statio7i 26 D. — Deer Lick knob, Bullitt county, Kentucky. 



Rhipido7nella oweni a, Spirifer mortonanus c, Spirifer.siiborbic- 

 21/ arts c. 



The blue clay shale beds here have the usual chara(5leristics of 

 the New Providence shale, but contain very few fossils. None 

 of these species occur in the Kinderhook fauna which occupies 

 this horizon in southern Indiana. 



Lebanon Junction, Kentucky. 



The New Providence shale is exposed on the sides of the knobs 

 near Lebanon Jundlion and the following species were obtained: 



Station 26D. — Northwest of Lebanon Jun(5tion one-half mile. 



Athyris laniellosa a, Chonetes illinoisensis r, Dielasnia bovidensf 

 r, Produfliis semireticulatus c, Spirifer sp. r, Spirifer niarion- 

 efisis r, Spirifer mortonanus c, Zaphrentis dalei E. and H. a. 



The absence, or at least the scarcity, of Rhipidomella otveni at 

 this station is rather surprising, since it is usually the most 

 abundant species in these beds. 



New Haven, Kentucky. 



The Devonian limestone was not seen at New Haven and if 

 present there is very thin. The se(ftion below is exposed just 

 west of the town on the bank of Rolling Fork. 



Black shale 5 ft. 



Covered 4 ft. 



Dolomitic limestone 7 ft.
