I rather think the Penn. Quarry did not make
out the structure and therefore got their thicknesses
to guess. The structure is as follows:
Along Penn. Railway
Oreida
Lower
Oreidian
Shales.
White
Oreidian
Qs.
Upper Oreidian
Shales
Schuelker
Rim.
Delvin
Red
Cl.
The Oreida - Hawangunk contact is as follows:
H.R. Shales
and SS.
H.R. Sh.
H.R.
Oreids
H.R.
SS.
Oreida.
Spruce fault
Pine Point Fault
Oreida - Hawangunk. A white to grey leavy
bedded quartzite, even bedded and with axes through,
in the lower 418 feet, where the pellets are of to 3/16
inch; higher up we see them only on the bedding planes.
The Penn. Quarry gives the thickness as 205 feet
and this is correct as may be seen on the Penn.
A.R. cuts.
