Overview

Excerpt from Silurian Nomenclature and Correlations in Southwest Virginia and Northeast Tennessee This study was undertaken (1) to determine the lithology and thickness of the Clinch Sandstone in its type area in Clinch Mountain and to establish a reference section for the formation somewhere along Clinch Mountain; (2) to determine the areal extent over which the two members of the Clinch can be recognized and mapped; (3) to examine the suitability of the name Clinton Formation in this region; (4) to determine the relations between the Clinch Sandstone, or the Clinch Sandstone and Clinton Formation combined, of Virginia and the Rockwood Formation of Tennessee. Fieldwork contributing to the present investigation has been carried on by the author for many years in southwest Virginia and northeast Tennessee. Specific localities discussed in this report in Virginia and Tennessee were Visited or revisited in June 1973. The author has also drawn on published reports, principally modern geologic quadrangle maps, for material in areas not Visited.
