These rocks show the upper portion of the Middle Ordovician Catheys Formation and all of the Upper Ordovician Sequatchie Formation including the Fernvale Member.The road cut exposes a section of rock that was measured at two hundred and seventy-five feet. This stratigraphic section was examined in detail to determine the paleodepositional environment in which these sections of rock were deposited. There are a total of five units that have been identified and the lithography studied in detail. These five units will be split up and described separately to clarify the content of each unit more easily. Unit one represents the Catheys Formation. This unit grade
