Had a great number of Edricinus sacculus large fine ones and small ones in clusters of three or more. Also many Spirifur tuberosus and one fine new Spirifer. This horizon is less clean in the lower Crislay as I. cumberlandiae was common. Much more material can be collected. The locality is near Pattersons Creek on the Western Maryland cutting.
