Book Description
Excerpt from The Paleozoic Stratigraphy of New York The route back to Albany follows the shore line of glacial Lake Iroquois for some distance, then crosses the belt of Medina rocks to Rochester. Here is seen the gorge of the lower Genesee River, with its section of the early Silurian beds. Remarkable glacial features are displayed along the route lead ing east to Syracuse. The Salina beds, which inclose valuable salt and gypsum deposits, are encountered on this stretch. The Clinton beds are found in their full development between Syracuse and Utica, where a detour is made to Trenton Falls, one of the historic localities for New York geology. Thence the way leads down the Mohawk Valley, affording a section from the Potsdam to the Frankfort, with another detour north to Sara toga Springs, over the Adirondack pre-cambrian formations for some distance, and into Albany.
