Along the eastern bank of this latter stream, passes the 

 Delaware, Lackawanna and Western R.R. in the cuts of 

 which are seen many outcrops of the massive sandstones, 

 red shales and calcareous coglomerates of the Catskill. 



The following section taken just opposite Oakley Station 

 near the southern line of the township illustrates well the 

 character of the Catskill series in this township : (Fig. 34.) 



Oakley Station section. 



1. Concealed from top of hill, 30' 



2. Sandstone, massive, (top 1167' A. T.,) 20' 



3. Flaggy sandstone, 5' 



4. Calcareous breccia, 1' 



5. Gray flaggy sandstone, 10' 



6. Red shale, 35' 



7. Red sandstone and red shale, 30' 



8. Gray shale, 5' 



9. Sandstone, massive, currrent-bedded, 25' 



10. Calcareous breccia, 2' 



11. Sandstone, 3' 



12. Shale, red, 12' 



13. Sandstone, greenish gray, 20' 



14. Shale, red, 10' 



15. Sandstone, massive, 40' 



16. Calcareous breccia, . 6' 



17. Concealed to level of Martin's creek, 40' 



No. 2 is a grayish-green current-bedded sandstone like 

 all the other sandstones in this section. 



No. 6 is a bright red shale and no sandy layers are seen 

 in it. 



No. 7 has several layers of red sandstone interstratified 

 with dark red shale. 



Nos. 4 and 10 are examples of the calcareous breccias or 

 fish conglomerates which are so common in the Catskill 

 rocks, being found near the bases of many sandstones as 

 sporadic masses which may be absent in the next section, 

 only a few rods away. They contain in this case many 

 pebbles of shale, and sandstone, as well as fragments offish 

 bones. 



No. 13 is quarried to some extent at this locality, on the 

 land of Mr. M. Underwood ; the rock on its outcrop, has a 

 massive appearance, but when quarried into the hill it splits 

 up into thin layers 3" to 6" thick, which make beautiful
