Approximately 340 feet above the stone quarry and south of the 

 highway up the hill in northwestern Broome, just over the town- 

 ship line, is a small excavation showing blue sandstone (D 4 ) which 

 splits into rather thin layers. No fossils were found in the bed 

 rock; though there are plenty in loose pieces of stone on the sur- 

 face which, however, probably came with the drift. On the high- 

 way just after it turns south in the northwestern corner of Broome 

 and 145 feet above D 4 are green shales and thin sandstones (D 6 ) 

 which are in the Sherburne formation. On the highway 30 feet 

 higher near the turn to Franklinton are red and green mottled 

 shales and sandstones (D 8 ). Another prominent terrace of gray- 

 ish, slightly reddish and greenish shaly sandstone (D 10 ) appears 

 65 feet higher. Below this terrace along the highway are shales 

 which are mainly red. At the top of the ridge is grayish and 

 greenish gray, coarse grained, thin bedded sandstone (D 12 ). In 

 the field plenty of loose red sandstone is found. The summit of 

 the hill in the eastern part of Fulton township is only about 35 

 feet higher and this summit according to the barometric section 

 is 1500 feet above the Schoharie river at Middleburg. 



The rocks from D 8 to the top of Moheganter hill have in general 

 the lithologic characters of the Oneonta formation to which they 

 would ordinarily be referred. The reds and greenish gray rocks 

 on this hill, however, appear stratigraphically much lower than 

 the base of the Oneonta sandstone in the Susquehanna valley or 

 even in the western part of Schoharie 1 county, so that they have 

 nearly, if not completely, replaced the rocks of the Ithaca form- 

 ation. This fact will be shown still more clearly by the section 

 of the western side of the Moheganter hill in the eastern part of 

 Fulton township. This section southeasl of Middleburg and up 

 the eastern side of Moheganter hill is shown in the following 

 diagram.
