Not illustrated. 1889 Excerpt: ...hundred feet of the upper portion of the Erie shale are here wanting, having been removed by erosion; but this portion may be seen by following up the valley of Chagrin River. Hence we have evidence that there the Erie shale is not far from one thousand feet in thickness and is essentially alike throughout; that is, is composed of soft dove-colored clay shale, with flags of sandstone. Above the Erie shale we find in that vicinity, at the base of Little Mountain, the edge of the Cleveland shale; which, having a thickness of fifty feet at Cleveland, thins towards the east and apparently runs out before reaching the Pennsylvania line. All the fossils yet obtained from it are identical with those found in the Waverly beds above. Toward the west the Erie shale thins rapidly, and in Huron County is in one locality not more than ten feet in thickness. So far as known none of the fossils of the Huron occur in the Erie or Cleveland shales. Hence, to unite these three distinct formations is, in my judgment, to misrepresent the geologic record. Prof. L. E. Hicks announces1 the discovery of the Cleveland shale in Delaware County, Ohio, but I think he has found there the Berea shale, which lies immediately above the Berea grit. This latter shale is persistent southward, and is apparently the black shale, so rich in fish remains at Vanceburgh, Kentucky. I suspect the Cleveland shale does not pass south of the line of the Western Reserve. 1 Am. Jour. Sci.. 3d series, vol. 16, 1878, p. 70.
