Summary:

The New Burnside is here reduced in rank to Bed as it is neither widespread nor continuous. Restricted to the northeastern part of the Creal Springs quad. Varies in thickness from a few inches to about 54 in. Underlies variable strata ranging from conglomerates to sandstone, siltstone, and silty shale. Overlies shale, siltstone, and sandstone above the Delwood Coal Bed.
