Decker S. H. section. 



1. Sandstone, grayish white, {Honesdale Upper,) 30' 



2. Concealed, 20' 



3. Red sandstone, 25' 



4. Concealed, 50 



5. Grayish white sandstone, (base 1450' A. T.,) 25' 



This section represents the Honesdale sandstone series, 

 since No. 1 is the white sandstone which has been traced 

 continuously northward from Honesdale. The red sand- 

 stone is very characteristic, being the only red sandstone in 

 the CatsMll series of Wayne county, all the other red rocks 

 being shale ; it is finely laminated, and very hard, so that 

 bowlders of it are of frequent occurrence in the Drift. 



About two miles due west from the locality of this section 

 and near Tallmanville the outcrop of the Cherry Ridge 

 limestone is seen at 1800' A. T. huge masses of it lie scat- 

 tered over the ground and are very black on their weathered 

 surfaces ; fragments offish bones, shale, and other material 

 occur in it abundantly ; the stratum probably contains 20 to 

 30 per cent, of lime.
