Chesapeake and Ohio Railway crosses the strike of the beds nearly 
at right angles. The numerous ruts along this section of the road, 
together with the outcrops on the hotel grounds, afford a section from 
the black cherts nearly through the shales and sandstones of the 
Chemung. The following section includes all the outcrops observed 
on the west side of the White Sulphur Springs Hotel grounds:

The chert (1) in this section appears to be entirely barren of fossils. 
The sandstone (2) in the rear of Alabama row, White Sulphur 
Springs Hotel, contains the following species:

No fossils were discovered in the gray chert (3). On the hotel 
grounds, at the east end of Baltimore row, numerous specimens of 
Scldzoholus tnmcatus were found in the black ("Komney") shale (4). 
The black carbonaceous shale containing Schizobolus truncatus 
changes gradually to a dark-gray or blackish sandy shale (Jennings), 
containing the fauna listed below, which is seen at the west end of 
tunnel, White Sulphur Springs (1380 B):
