If the deposits were forming in the sea and gradually spreading out, their relationship. Figure 1: -Diagram showing Diameter and Overlap of a stihacrial delta Fan to the underlying rocks should be as shown in the following diagram (figure 11), whereas the actual relationship is as shown in figure 12, the successively overlapping clastic beds resting directly on the old erosion surface. Tenth. The absence of undoubted marine fossils. The argument from contemporary salt deposits and from the occur- rence of Eurypterids.—There are, then, none of the lithic and structural characters known to be possessed by the Shawangunk which are not also.
