Camden, Tenn. Best Ovidian locality just on the out- skirts of the village. To the west of the village I secured nothing, or little. The chest is from 12-15 feet thick, overlain by shale 6-7 feet thick. Is this the Bloem shale? At the top is a 2 inch limonite band. Above this loose sand = Hardin? Ovidian sec. to Frontier. Forster gives the Camden here as 60' Heldrbug near Camden. South. One locality is near Chaseville on Wolf Creek up stream from the wagon road going from Chaseville to Holladays. About six exposures in a quarter mile from the road. Thickness about 20-25' Overlain by Camden chest, out croped only saw broken chest. Between 4-5 miles N.-E of Holladays towards Camden along side the road are two fine localities of Heldrubejian, 35' shown. Lowest beds have Michelinia and Favosites Bryozoa higher up. Phacops from upper portion. Forster gives this locality as 5 miles north of Big Sandy Station on the Lower Camden road.
