Excerpt from Wirt, Roane and Calhoun CountiesThe chapters on the general and detailed geology, although somewhat technical in their nature, give a large fund of knowledge about the formations of the Dunkard, Monon gahela and Conemaugh series in this portion of the State where such data were quite meager in many respects. They also correct several errors of correlation in former State Geological reports. In these chapters, the writer has given the general and accepted classification of the rock strata which permits comparison with the formations in other counties in West Virginia, and in other States.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
