PRICE SANDSTONE 



The Price consists mainly of cross-betlded coarse sandstone, with se\"- 

 cral thin beds of conglomerate near the bottom and shales alternating 

 with the sandstone near the top. The measured thickness is 757 feet. 

 Three beds of coal, with a total thickness of about 7 feet, occur near the 

 middle of the formation. Xo marine fossils were found excepting in 

 tlie lowest beds, but plant remains are abundant in connection with the 

 coal. Lepidodendron scobiniforme Meek,* a characteristic Pocono plant, 

 is tlie most common form. The presence of coal, the absence of marine 

 fossils, and the character of the sediments indicate subaerial and fresh- 

 water origin. The Price grades into the Pulaski above and Kimberling 

 below without distinct pianos of demarkation.
