 quently exposed about the edge of the hill, com- 

 posed of the Becraft limestone and Oriskany sand- 

 stone. The northern (Mid of thi^ hill was ])artly 

 covered. The Oriskany sandstone is rather dark 

 gray, weathering to a brownish color, quite cal- 

 careous, and contains many s})ecimens of fossils. 

 The thickness varies from IJ to 2 feet 



The folloAving fossils were found in it:
