   The 
  above 
  fauna 
  is 
  a 
  Hamilton 
  one 
  which 
  together 
  with 
  the 
  

  

  lithologic 
  appearance 
  of 
  the 
  rocks 
  seems 
  to 
  be 
  sufficient 
  evidence 
  

   for 
  referring 
  the 
  outcrop 
  to 
  the 
  Hamilton 
  formation. 
  The 
  top 
  

   of 
  the 
  Hamilton 
  passes 
  beneath 
  the 
  level 
  of 
  the 
  Catskill 
  valley 
  

   n 
  mile 
  or 
  so 
  below 
  Franklinton. 
  Along 
  the 
  highway 
  north 
  of 
  

   Franklinton 
  on 
  the 
  eastern 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  " 
  vly 
  " 
  is 
  a 
  fairly 
  massive 
  

   ledge 
  of 
  sandstone 
  which 
  is 
  about 
  10 
  feet 
  higher 
  than 
  the 
  ex- 
  

   posures 
  of 
  XXIX 
  C 
  2 
  on 
  the 
  western 
  side. 
  It 
  was 
  not 
  examined 
  for 
  

   fossils 
  but 
  from 
  its 
  stratigraphic 
  position 
  is 
  evidently 
  in 
  the 
  

   Hamilton 
  formation.

  . 
  Near 
  the 
  top 
  of 
  the 
  high 
  hill 
  one 
  and 
  one 
  half 
  miles 
  

   northeast 
  of 
  Franklinton 
  is 
  a 
  ledge 
  of 
  heavy, 
  coarse 
  grained, 
  

   greenish 
  gray 
  sandstone 
  with 
  red 
  shales 
  and 
  sandstone 
  above. 
  

   This 
  ledge 
  crosses 
  the 
  first 
  east 
  road 
  to 
  the 
  north 
  of 
  Franklinton 
  

   950 
  feet 
  higher 
  than 
  the 
  Catskill 
  creek 
  at 
  that 
  place, 
  some 
  2200 
  

   feet 
  A. 
  T. 
  This 
  outcrop 
  is 
  about 
  at 
  the 
  summit 
  of 
  the 
  plateau 
  

   for 
  this 
  region 
  and, 
  20 
  feet 
  higher 
  at 
  the 
  four 
  corners, 
  a 
  short 
  

   distance 
  to 
  the 
  east, 
  is 
  red 
  sandstone 
  along 
  the 
  road 
  bed. 
  The 
  

   hillside 
  from 
  the 
  creek 
  road 
  to 
  these 
  ledges 
  near 
  its 
  summit 
  is 
  

   well 
  concealed 
  by 
  drift 
  so 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  impossible 
  to 
  accurately 
  

   determine 
  the 
  line 
  of 
  separation 
  between 
  the 
  different 
  formations. 
  

   These 
  red 
  and 
  greenish 
  gray 
  sandstones 
  and 
  shales 
  are 
  in 
  the 
  

   Oneonta 
  formation, 
  but 
  not 
  at 
  its 
  base 
  as 
  indicated 
  by 
  the 
  red 
  

   sandstone 
  to 
  the 
  northwest 
  of 
  Franklinton 
  350 
  feet 
  lower, 
  and 
  

   shown 
  by 
  reddish 
  shales 
  300 
  feet 
  lower 
  on 
  the 
  northern 
  slope 
  of 
  

   the 
  hill 
  toward 
  Huntersland. 
  In 
  descending 
  this 
  slope 
  toward 
  

   Huntersland 
  in 
  Stony 
  creek 
  in 
  the 
  southeastern 
  part 
  of 
  Middle- 
  

   burg, 
  red 
  shale 
  was 
  found 
  at 
  several 
  places 
  lower 
  than 
  D 
  1 
  . 
  The 
  

   rocks 
  are 
  well 
  shown 
  along 
  this 
  highway 
  and 
  consist 
  mainly 
  of 
  

   bluish 
  sandstone 
  alternating 
  with 
  reddish 
  shales 
  and 
  sandstones 
  

   and 
  greenish 
  shales.- 
  At 
  an 
  approximate 
  altitude 
  of 
  1910 
  feet
