SKANEATELES SHALE 



This formation is a bed of soft dark clayey shales quite bitumi- 

 nous and pyritiferous in some parts and containing fossils but 

 sparingly, though a few thin calcareous lentils are composed almost 

 entirely of compressed shells. 



It is 145 feet thick and is terminated at the top by a stratum of 

 hard calcareous sandy shale containing cyathophylloid corals in 

 abundance. 



Skaneateles shale is exposed along Little Conesus creek below 

 the Avon reservoir, but is not seen elsewhere on these quadrangles. 



Its place in the Livonia shaft section is 608 to' 753 feet below the 

 top. 



The following fossils occur in these beds : 



Phacops rana Green
