is a marked sandy gne passing downwar into dark blue shaly limestone and then again into the similar heavy bedded blue intercrystalline li. From this sandy gne there are few fossils. The Oriskany cannot be thicker than 35 feet at Panther Gap. It has many fossils but one cannot make them out. The abundance of fossils leads to the belief that it is the Upper Oriskany. While the various sections seem to lack certain formations yet, the succession appear to be complete since one cannot make out unconformities. The only unconformity seen is between the Chautauqua and Marcellus. This is quite marked.
