  The 
  above 
  section 
  agrees 
  fairly 
  well 
  with 
  exposures 
  near 
  

   Youngs, 
  one 
  mile 
  farther 
  northwest, 
  where 
  in 
  the 
  railroad 
  cut 
  

   directly 
  north 
  of 
  the 
  station 
  there 
  are 
  olive 
  and 
  bluish 
  fissile 
  

   shales 
  alternating 
  with 
  thin, 
  irregular 
  sandstones. 
  There 
  are 
  

   also 
  irregular, 
  concretionary 
  sandstones. 
  Fossils 
  are 
  rare, 
  but 
  

   a 
  few 
  specimens 
  of 
  Atrypa 
  reticularis 
  (Lin.) 
  Dal. 
  were 
  found. 
  

  

  In 
  a 
  quarry 
  about 
  60 
  feet 
  below 
  the 
  railroad 
  track 
  on 
  both 
  

   sides 
  of 
  Ford 
  creek 
  are 
  unfossiliferous 
  coarse 
  gray 
  sandstones 
  

   which 
  split 
  quite 
  regularly 
  making 
  small 
  flags, 
  and 
  an 
  occasional 
  

   layer 
  of 
  clay 
  pebble 
  conglomerate. 
  In 
  the 
  creek 
  just 
  below 
  the 
  

   quarry 
  are 
  large 
  slabs 
  of 
  red 
  sandstone 
  which 
  are 
  probably 
  about 
  

   in 
  place. 
  The 
  rocks 
  of 
  this 
  quarry 
  belong, 
  apparently 
  in 
  the 
  

   Oneonta 
  formation. 
  

  

  About 
  75 
  feet 
  lower 
  on 
  the 
  western 
  side 
  of 
  Carrs 
  creek 
  there 
  

   is 
  a 
  steep 
  bluff 
  in 
  which 
  large 
  masses 
  of 
  angular 
  red 
  sandstones
