Abstract
The name Crummies Member of the Breathitt Formation is here given to a marine unit that I.C. White in 1885 called the Cannelton Limestone in the Kanawha River valley of West Virginia. Rocks now assigned to the Crummies Member have been miscorrelated by other workers with the Campbell Creek Limestone of White (1885) in other areas of West Virginia as well as in eastern Kentucky and southwestern Virginia. Fieldwork and literature review suggest that the Crummies Member is an extensive deposit. In southeasternmost Kentucky, where it contains a varied molluscan fauna, it attains its greatest thickness; in northeastern Kentucky, it is present as a thin, discontinuous sandstone and sandy siltstone unit that contains more openmarine fauna.
