Summary

Description
English: Plate XLVI from The Geology of the Richmond Basin published by USGS, which has the following caption:
Gravels overlying Newark Formation, Southern Railway cut, near Midlothian. The spring on the right marks the top of the clayey strata.
The text of the report refers to the figure as follows:
The pebble beds are well exposed in the Southern Railway cut between Nyson's Branch and the public road crossing the railroad about 1 mile east of Dry Bridge Station (see Pl. XLVI). The beds here consist of the usual conglomerate of quartzite and quartz pebbles, mainly if not altogether materials derived from the Paleozoic strata in the region of the Blue Ridge and the Great Valley of Virginia. Some of the quartzite pebbles contain casts of a Scolithus or vertical worm burrow. In a fine-grained, white, decomposed hornstone was found the internal cast of Spirifera cumberlandiae Hall, as determined by Dr. R. T. Jackson. A fragment of a tabulate coral was also found in this gravel.
