320 GEOLOGY OF OHIO. 
rock and the Coal Measures also varies greatly, and it is evident that at 
different horizons the sandy shales of the Waverly pass into coarse Con- 
glomerate, which form long, narrow ridges, with a northerly and south- 
erly bearing, and nowhere extending in broad sheets in an easterly and 
westerly direction. The fact is of interest, in this connection, that the 
whole body of the Waverly here is composed of coarser material, and is 
generally more homogeneous than further north. ! 
The following sections will show the general character of the upper 
members of the Waverly, and the local character of the Waverly Con- 
glomerate:

4, Sandy and argillaceous shales at bottom of valley. 
The upper part of the Waverly Conglomerate is represented by the 
upper part of this section. The rock shows occasional seams of pebbles, 
and in places colored bands, not as marked, but of the same character 
as at the Mansfield quarry. It is firm and strong, splitting easily in the 
lines of stratification, and furnishes very good quarry rock.
