There are frequent exposures of this and the next lower forma- 

 tions along the highway running southeast to the Indian Ladder 

 road, and at various places one or the other forms the bed of the 

 road for a distance of several rods.

Becraft. Ten feet of the Becraft limestone was 

 found, but it is probably somewhat thicker, and 

 the Oriskany sandstone rests immediately on top. 

 The contact is finely shown at several places in the 

 woods at this locality, the sandstone resting on 

 the massive limestone, so that there are no beds of 

 shaly limestone [Port Ewen] between these forma- 

 tions, as at Schoharie and Howes Cave. The lime- 

 stone is light gray and rather crystalline with the 

 usual lithologic characters of the Becraft 12±-734 



New Scotland. On the partly covered slope south and west of 

 the Pentamerus [Coeymans] terrace are occasional ledges of the 

 thicker layers of the shaly limestone [New Scotland beds] and 

 outcrops of the very much weathered and decomposed calcareous 

 shales. These shales contain abundant fossils, and frequently on 

 the surface of the slope many nearly perfect shells may be found. 

 A hasty collection from such an exposure gave the following 

 species :
