  Isolated 
  outcrop

  fine

   tough 
  sandstone,

  Unless 
  the 
  latter 
  outcrop 
  is 
  the 
  one 
  referred 
  to, 
  nothing 
  could 
  be 
  

   found 
  of 
  the 
  beds 
  of 
  the 
  Onondaga 
  salt 
  group 
  referred 
  to 
  by 
  

   Yanuxem 
  ('42 
  p. 
  85) 
  as 
  occurring 
  in 
  this 
  held. 
  

  

  a 
  Smyth 
  ('92) 
  proves 
  that 
  the 
  ore 
  of 
  the 
  lower 
  beds 
  at 
  Clinton, 
  which 
  is 
  about 
  5 
  miles 
  distant, 
  

   is 
  truly 
  concretionary 
  and 
  is 
  in 
  all 
  cases 
  amass 
  of 
  concentric 
  shells 
  of 
  ore 
  around 
  a 
  nucleus 
  of 
  

   quartz, 
  it 
  being 
  possible 
  to 
  dissolve 
  away 
  the 
  former 
  with 
  hydrochloric 
  acid 
  leaving 
  the 
  

   latter. 
  The 
  number 
  of 
  concentric 
  layers 
  of 
  ore 
  is 
  often 
  ten 
  or 
  more. 
  The 
  quartz-sand 
  grains 
  

   are 
  evidently 
  derived 
  from 
  granitoid 
  or 
  schistose 
  rocks.

  cProf. 
  J. 
  W 
  Dawson 
  ('64) 
  suggests 
  that 
  Cruziana 
  {Rusophycus) 
  bilobatus 
  Hall, 
  of 
  the 
  New 
  

   York 
  Clinton, 
  are 
  the 
  casts 
  of 
  the 
  tracks 
  of 
  trilobites 
  ; 
  however 
  in 
  this 
  case 
  no 
  trilobite 
  of 
  

   puflBcient 
  size 
  to 
  produce 
  such 
  tracks 
  could 
  be 
  found. 
  Dana 
  ('95) 
  refers 
  them 
  to 
  sea-wornoi 
  

   tracks.
