Quadrille Ruled Form. Patented 1906. John C. Moore Corporation, Rochester, N.Y.
Oak Hill is composed of a thick mass of basic tuffs which occasionally contain fossils here & there. The rock v mode forms once if the fossils is similar to 1.55.1 A.
These tuffs appear massive but occasional ledges on the west end show strike N.10°E & N. 15°W; dip 40° E. This strike is so as variance with the strikes above & below as well as with the general trend as to suggest cross bedding in a delta or sandy local deposit.
The basic tuffs of Oak Hill do not again crop out either to the N.W. nor to the S.E., and that they are not faulted away is proven by the absence of any extensive faulting in the vicinity.
Fossils were observed in particular in the N.E. face of the mountain some 60 ft below the top =
