The cliff of the lower Coey- mans is conspicuous every- where in this region, being particularly prominent on both sides of West moun- tain and on the south face of Barton hill along the Fox kill. The cliff not infre- quently overhangs owing to the recession, by weather- ing, of the transition layers between it and the Man- lius. Thus there is generally a cavernous recession at the base of the Coeymans, which in many places forms an adequate rock shelter [see pi. 11].

It is at the base of this rock that the remarkable crinoid M e 1 o c r i n u s p a c h y d a c t y 1 u s [fig. 33] has been found, the locality furnishing most of the si3ecimens obtained, being the cliff east of Schoharie courthouse. The thickness of the formation at Kondoutj New Salem and at Indian Ladder is the same as at Schoharie, i. e. 50 feet, while at Mt Becraft its thickness is 45 feet. There is generally much chert in the upper portion of this formation, but this appears to be wanting entirely in the exposures of the Schoharie region. At Howes Cave the.
