Along the new New Route 55 in West Virginia there are several fresh roadcut exposures of Devonian-aged sediments. Exposed at this particular road cut are black and grey shales of the Brallier Formation which grade into a lighter colored sandstone on the right. This represents a facies change and is likely a contact between the Brallier Formation on the left (west) and the overlying Chemung formation on the right (east). View is looking roughly north.
