Abstract

The stratigraphy, subdivision, and correlation of the rocks of the Chickamauga Group or their equivalents have long been the subject of controversy. In the east central belts of the Valley and Ridge province, interpretation of the Lenoir Limestone is a major issue involved in the controversy. The Lenoir proper or Lenoir-type lithologies have been widely recognized in the southern Appalachians, from Virginia to Alabama. The type locality and distinctive outcropping belts of this formation are located in central East Tennessee.
