The Uddemitter zone of present is only a foot or so thick, but probably is represented by little more than an exceptional bedding plane. The fossils present are dominantly Crinoids and a few Brachiopods and are now oxidized chert or xilica. This area is quite important and it will pay to study the fauna as carefully as possible to determine age relationships. The Dip and questionable faults also may have some importance on the regional structure of the Late Penn.
