At the apex are shown for fifty feet of heavy bedded Massanutten sandstone followed by a few feet of thin beds and then some heavy beds. A short distance towards the station and still in the same formation, from some Leperditia which may be the Orictina L. cae- corona (These seem to be lower than the Clinton of Buffuto Shelf section).
