or twenty feet between 'Che top of WY.80 oo4 and the lowest beds of the 
section WY.80 1-4, 
WY. 8 0 1-4. This is a series of outcrops made in a cutting on 
‘ <tst< m (ft ad ) J, ’ 
the portheast side of the road, and about four hundred yards south of ea9f 
of rr. p'Hdge.The line of outcrop is less than a hundred yards 
longt and extends in a northwest direction , the same as the rr.cut . 
Though the middle of the section in discussion is nearly four hundred 
yards from where the loxvest ss.band of the railroad cut goes under, the 
same dip of Two hundred feet per mile n.w. is maintained. 
vr Y.8 0 1... Three feet of impure, coarse, blue stained shales, 
with some thin slates. Fossils are very rare , consisting of a few small 
crinoid joints, and a couple of small lamellibranchs (Grammysias ) .These 
beds are from 799-802 ft.A.T. , and are capped by a three inch columnar 
sandstone band , which is overlain by nearly a foot of papery slates. 
WY. 8 0 2... 802-813 A. T. Eleven feet of gray in a few places blue 
stained, thin , slaty flags, or flaggy sandstone, with some very coarse 
arenaceous shale .Fossils are still very scarce , showing a couple of 
Product el las and a gragment of Spirifer disjunctus and of Pterinea che- 
mungensTHs. A small slab of Orthothetes slid down from above shows that 
this horizon is probably the same as that containing Spirifer disjunctus 
at Lockwood ( see WY. 4 K 9). At Chemung this horizon is capped by a ss. 
band varying from two to seven inches in thickness. 
- jo 
WY. 8 0 3 ... 813-823 A. T. Ten feet of gray arenaceous beds with a 
few thin streaks of yellow ironstain the same as at Lockwood, and ten in 
ches tlii ck. At Chemung at this outcrop, the cut has been exposed for a 
long time so that the rock has weathered into small fragments, weather- 
therefor in the same way as what are supposed to be the same beds at L 
Lockwoodv Another proof thatbihe beds are the same is that they are both 
capped by a sandstone band seven to ten inches thick, and there are also 
a few slightly harder bands the same as at Lockwood. Orthothetes chemung- 
ensis, is very abundant especially in a few seams while Pterinea chemung- 
ensis is also qu ite common. One tor two specimens of Schizophoria impress^ 
and a couple of small lamellibranchs were also observed .WY 8 0 3.1 is 
a fossiliferous seam five feet from the top of the preceding.lt contains 
crinoid joints, Pterineas, and spinose Atrypas, but apparently no Orth- 
othetes. St ropheodonta was also seen as was also a Grammysia found erect 
with both valves in conjunction, and the anterior end pointing upward. 
WY. 804. ..Between WY 803 and WY.804 are three to four feet of sai 
stone with some interbedded shales. There is a more or less persistent ss- 
band fifteen inches thick and near the top, the same as at Lockwood. 
WY 804is a firestone two inches thick and full of Orthothetes chemungen- 
sis with a few specimens of Pterinea and of Schizophoria. Fossils are alah 
fairly abundant just above this band (827 A.T.), and also below and ineP- 
clude the same striate Spirifer as found at Lockwood. There can be no dou 
doubt as to the identity of these beds with the Orthothetes zone at Mill 
er RunWY. 4K9-18 ;but at the latter place these beds are just about two 
hundred feet Igigher barometrically than at Chemung which is nearly five 
miles to the southwest. The nature of the outcrop at Chemung does not per* 
mit of the same detailed study as at Miller Run. Among the other fossils 
seen just above the firestone are Productellas , while some stictoporoid 
rvozoa are seen in the firestone.
