. Annual report of the Regents. New York State Museum; Science. 56 Report of the State Geologist. The details of the junction of the gneiss and Calciferous are given in the following section: Section in cut of West Shore railroad, at the " Little l^ose," Randall, Montgomery county, ^N". Y .. The Calciferous sandstone at the ^'Little JS'ose" has a consider- able thickness and carries some small beds of hornstone, and contains many cavities, lined with quartz crystals similar to those of Little Falls, but not ia such abundance or perfection. Some of the crevices in the rock have been filled vrith lime, by infiltra- tion, forming a calcareous tufa, and contain many bones of small animals and the shells of recent species of Helix. From the " Noses" to the escarpment crossing the Mohawk above Hoffman's Ferry the rocks lie in a broad synclinal, with some minor folds. This synclinal includes, al -ng the river, the Calciferous sandstone, Trenton limestone and Utica slate It is terminated at Hoffman's Ferry by a line of fault parallel to the other faults here described. Further details of the occurrence and distribution of the rock formations are given in the map accompanying this report, which records the observations made during the past season, no attempt having been made to incorporate it with the published geological maps of this Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original New York State Museum; University of the State of New York.
