  XXVIII

  From 
  West 
  Fulton 
  a 
  section 
  was 
  followed 
  up 
  Pan- 
  

   ther 
  creek 
  to 
  its 
  head 
  in 
  the 
  western 
  part 
  of 
  Fulton 
  township 
  and 
  

   then 
  to 
  the 
  summit 
  of 
  the 
  divide 
  in 
  the 
  eastern 
  part 
  of 
  Summit 
  

   township. 
  Rather 
  more 
  than 
  one 
  half 
  mile 
  west 
  of 
  the 
  village 
  

   is 
  a 
  small 
  quarry 
  on 
  the 
  northern 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  highway 
  which 
  has 
  

   furnished 
  a 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  foundation 
  stone 
  used 
  in 
  West 
  Fulton 
  

   and 
  there 
  are 
  also 
  layers 
  of 
  blue 
  flagging 
  stone 
  of 
  fair 
  quality. 
  

   Some 
  of 
  the 
  rather 
  irregular 
  sandstones 
  contain 
  numerous 
  speci- 
  

   mens 
  of 
  Spirifer 
  granulosus 
  (Con.) 
  H. 
  & 
  C. 
  associated 
  with 
  other 
  

   Hamilton 
  species. 
  The 
  quarry's 
  elevation 
  above 
  Panther 
  creek 
  

   at 
  West 
  Fulton 
  was 
  not 
  determined, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  clearly 
  several 
  

   hundred 
  feet 
  below 
  the 
  top 
  of 
  the 
  Hamilton 
  formation 
  in 
  the 
  

   lower 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  zone 
  called 
  C

  the 
  main 
  branch 
  of 
  Panther 
  creek 
  turns 
  sharply 
  

   to 
  the 
  north; 
  but 
  the 
  section 
  follows 
  the 
  highway 
  toward 
  Sum- 
  

   mit 
  and 
  the 
  smaller 
  branch 
  of 
  the 
  creek 
  up 
  the 
  hill 
  to 
  the 
  west. 
  

   Some 
  490 
  feet 
  higher 
  than 
  West 
  Fulton, 
  on 
  the 
  south 
  side 
  of 
  

   the 
  road 
  after 
  crossing 
  the 
  west 
  branch 
  of 
  Panther 
  creek 
  and 
  

   passing 
  the 
  road 
  on 
  which 
  the 
  schoolhouse 
  is 
  located, 
  are 
  quite 
  

   thin, 
  bluish, 
  argillaceous 
  shales 
  (C

  certain 
  layers 
  of 
  which 
  con- 
  

   tain 
  abundant 
  specimens 
  of 
  the 
  very 
  mucronate 
  form 
  of 
  Spirifer 
  

   mucronatus 
  (Con.) 
  Bill, 
  associated 
  with 
  Chonetes 
  coronata 
  (Con.) 
  

   Hall. 
  These 
  shales 
  are 
  clearly 
  in 
  the 
  Hamilton 
  formation.
