Rosendale A. Y. Monday Sep. 7 1914 Left Kingston at 6 1/2 - 9 m. At Rosendale Station on Palisade Valley R.R. On the south side of Rondout Creek may be seen the heavy bedded White Grits and sand- dippling southwest. stone. This a conglomeratic quartzite with grins of vein quartz kettle, the pieces up to one inch thick 3/8 to 1/2 would be the average. The con- glomerate grains are thin and thick but very irregularly lens shaped in extent. The sand often shows grit bedding. This Gritsany is not very far from original even the same although the clearly marked nature with a grit then and occasional whole grains show that we are here in the marine waters at depths of less 100 feet. Then returned north as what I want to see is not in the south.
