6O NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM 



This is the last outcrop of these sandstones observed on the lake. 

 Two miles north of Moose brook is an outcrop of slate representing an 

 extensive belt exposed over the north reaches of the lake. It is impossible 

 to state at present the relation of these slates to the sandstones as no fossils 

 have been found in them. 



Cuts on Canadian Pacific Railway and at Askwith siding 



3472 About 2 miles below Askwith siding are dark gray sandy shales 

 bearing a strike of n. 60 e. and a dip of 80 n. 30 w. These contain 

 distorted plants or worm burrows. 



3473 Then follows a series of cuts through sandstones at various 

 attitudes with mostly badly preserved Leptostrophia magnifica 

 and Aviculopecten flammiger. 



3474 At Misery Notch about ^ mile below Asquith siding is an 

 interesting anticline exposed in several sections by faulting and revealing 

 a thickness of several hundred feet of the sandstone with great variation 

 in the composition of the sediments. Fossils are scarce, only a few 

 Rensselaerias in the topmost layers. 



Misery stream 



A short distance beyond Asquith siding is Misery stream. From the 

 railroad bridge to Brassua lake the sandstones outcrop in many places 

 along the bottom of the stream for a distance of 3 miles but no fossils could 

 be found. 



3475 At the first dam in the town of Sandwich are exposed from the 

 top downward 



1 dark colored shale with some nodular masses, 40 feet 



2 fine gray sandstone, 3 feet 



3 dark shaly sandstone, 24 feet 



4 hard compact gray sandstone, 1 2 feet 



5 shaly gray sandstone of great thickness. 

 The strike of this section is e. ne., dip 40 s. se.
