Chagrin Falls.— In the eastern part of Cuyahoga county, on 
the bank of Chagrin River, above Chagrin Falls, is a fine out- 
crop of the Sunbury shale. The following section was made at 
the Goodale quarry opposite the paper mill above Chagrin 
Falls :

3. Black, bituminous shale, which weathers on the edge frequently 
to arusty color, and is a massive shale undercover. The lower 
foot of the shale contains immense numbers of Zingula melie H. 
and a smaller number of a large species of Lingula and Orbicu- 
loidea Newberryt (Hall) Herrick. ‘There are also fragments of 
fish and plants. The fossils are the most abundant in the 
lower foot of the shale, but they occur in considerable force for 
at least 214 feet above the base, and specimens were collected 
in the shales at the height of 4 feet. Szsbury shale - =a neDol 20 
2. Top of Berea grit. Massive coarse-grained layer, friable rock, 
easily crumbling in the fingers, 314 feet thick. At the lower 
end of the quarry the upper part splits into thin, rather irregular 
flags, and there is no massive layer at top. Thin bedded to 
shaly sandstone, part of which makes flagging. ‘The flags show 
ripple marks, and some of the layers are worthless; 214 feet

This is the best locality noted in the Sunbury shale for col- 
lecting fossils, and attention was first called to it by Dr. New- 
berry.7 The above section is shown in Fig. 6, where the man 
is standing on one of the layers of Berea grit and indicating 
with his hand the contact of the Berea and Sunbury shale. 
Warren.—Across Lake, Geauga, Ashtabula, and Trumbull 
counties, there are comparatively few outcrops of the Sunbury 
shale, and as a rule even the Cuyahoga shale is concealed by 
drift deposits. On the bank of the Mahoning river, however, 
above Warren, are excellent outcrops of the Sunbury shale. 
One of these may be found on the eastern bank below the house 
of Alfred Fitch, rather more than one-fourth of a mile above the 
Water Works.
