It is overlaid by a thick bed of grayish soft shales, containing fossil shells, in a poor state of preservation, especially a species of Lmgula, In the upper part of this bank of shales I have found also a specimen of the bark of a Sigillaria, of the same species as some fossil trees found at Blairsville, in an erect position. The section of the strata over- lying this coal is : ...FEET. INCHES. Covered space, tops of the hills 70 Limestone without fossils 2 Shaly sandstone in bank, . 5 Grayish, yellow, soft shales, with plants and shells 21 Coal 9 Fire-clay 2 On the Mackaddo creek, eight miles north-east of New Harmony, two thin beds of coal crop out near the bed of the creek.
