The coal shown at the bottom of the above section belongsto the Mercer Group of Interconglomerate coal beds. Thelimestone which usually accompanies these beds in Mercerand Lawrence counties is absent, but may be representedby a band of calcareous iron ore that underlies the blue slate that overlies the coal also contains someiron ore, in nodules, but it is not a persistent layer, and ap-parently exists only in pots.
