Stop D

East side of road cut just north of Livingston city limits.
The bottom shelf consisted primarily of fine grained micrite (1, 2). In this layer we found the green shale (9) layer pictured in the view of the Overton County Quarry.
Moving upwards we encountered a white layer of large coarse oolitic grainstone (4, 5), a salisaclastic mudflow with large mudstone clasts (7, 8). Above that there was a coarse grained skeletal wackestone (not pictured). At the third, highest shelf the contact between Monteagle limestone and Hartsell sandstone was discovered.
