The following refers to the Havengurk. See the later
addendum.
At about 1 1/2 mile south of Delaware Hotel
the red clay stops, the shales dip out rather quickly
disagreeable
and the white series goes over into them bedded sand-
stones and conglomerates with the pebbles again little thine
of the Havengurk and from 3/4 to 3/8 inch in diameter.
All of the clay, grimes (more than 1/2 thickness) have flaccid shale
pebble inclusions, some rounded but most of them are flat.
It is a rough material, coarse, poorly cemented, and much
concreted.
This series may be the Upper Medina sandstones, 1
200 feet in thickness. Below it the section cannot see
therefore then must be shale, below. The thickness known
is not quite enough to be the Medina upper shales for after
300 to 400 of shales appear again coarse, conglomeratic
clay with clay bedded sandstone and flaccid shale in-
clusions.
The Hudson River at the N.-E. end of Gap consists
dark and light
of blue-black shales with grimes of them bedded dark quartz-
ites, probably more than half in sandstone. The junction
plane has about the same dip on both sides and
other than well character it is hard to distinguish them.
