The Olean Conglomerate in this locality varies very much in its charac 

 ter. It is found changing from a coarse pebble conglomerate to a rather 

 fine or even shaly sandstone in comparatively short distances. The "blue 

 slate rock" directly under the drift in the Bear Creek well, represents 

 probably a portion of the Olean Conglomerate.
