If Crystallany sandstone are seen and
at the top of the ridge it pops out in
large masses. It is a white sandrock
slightly prinstain'd and grounds with
Spirifera argenrous. Other fossils seen
are Spirifra annetus, Russelagra
ovides, Megalantus oralis, Hippar-
ionyx profiones, Eatonia peculiae;
and a large Tentaculite. All of
these fossils are the characteristic
Upper Crystallany species. Ashburner
gives it as 110 feet thick and the
Crystallany shale as 205 feet. Together
315 feet or about the same thickness
as at Cumberland.
