GEOLOGY OF THE REMSEN QUADRANGLE

clearly dips to the west while along another stream a mile east the 

 dip is southeastward. In the stream bed below Grant the limestone 

 clearly dips northwestward thus suggesting the limb of a similar 

 fold there. Off the map limits, about 2 miles southeast of Holland 

 Patent and in the bed of Nine Mile creek, a very distinct anticline 

 with northeast-southwest strike is exposed. The upper Trenton 

 is here brought to view with shale dipping away on either side. 



Aside from these larger folds numerous small ones occur, as for 

 example in the bed of West Canada creek at Trenton Falls village. 



Faults 



Trenton fault and fold. A line of distinct faulting and folding 

 passes from near Prospect village for 9 miles southwestward to 



I^Utica. h-m Trenton.

 west of the village of Trenton. The minor faulting is not 

 shown in the drawing. 



Stittville beyond the map limits. The line of disturbance is almost 

 straight and beginning east of Prospect, it passes near Prospect 

 station (R. W. & 0. R. R.), just west of Trenton, thence off the 

 map through Holland Patent and to Stittville. That portion of 

 the line between Trenton and Holland Patent has been very 

 briefly described by Darton, 1 but the more important part lying 

 between Trenton and Prospect is here described for the first time. 

 The writer has called the whole line of disturbance the Trenton 

 fault because it passes through the town of Trenton. The Trenton 

 fault is of interest for several reasons : because it is the most westerly 

 of all the series of Mohawk valley faults yet described; because it 

 is the only one of the series which shows thrust faulting ; and because 

 it is one of a very few which have the downthrow side on the west. 

 Two other faults of the series having downthrow on the west are 

 the Dolgeville fault and the branch of the Little Falls fault.
