Near Fox Springs, Fleming County, an exposure shows a probable 
thickness of 324 feet for the Bedford-Berea. While the horizon 
continues to thin to the southward, the rate of decline is much more 
gradual than it has been in the area just discussed, and for this 
reason sections will now be given at longer intervals only. 
In the highway leading up the hill at Rockville Station, Rowan 
County, is an excellent exposure from the Ohio shale to the lower 
Cuyahoga. The Bedford-Berea is only 183 feet thick, but probably 
the greatest value of the section is its aid in determining the true 
horizon of the sandstones quarried in this vicinity. These have 
been referred to the Berea grit by Hoeing,' but a glance at the follow- 
ing section will show that they belong to the Buena Vista member 
of the Cuyahoga formation. The Buena Vista sandstones with 
shaly partings are typically developed but the interval is only 37 feet 
as compared with 60 feet for the same member along the Ohio River 
west of Portsmouth, Ohio.
