Althoughthe Kinzers formation is fully exposed in the Pennsylvania Eailroad cutjust to the north, the Conestoga is nowhere seen resting on the overlap is apparently concealed by a thrust-fault that passes betweenthese two exposures. A little farther south, on the north flank of the Mine Ridge anticline,the Conestoga almost completely overlaps the Vintage dolomite, and onthe south flank it entirely overlaps the Vintage and rests on Harpersschist. The Conestoga limestone north and east of Quarryville has beenrecrystallized into compact gray and white banded micac
