Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Guide to the Geology and Paleontology of the Schoharie Valley in Eastern New York
Yet in all its history there has not been a geologic map of the region prepared except on an insignificant scale and no adequate account of its formations and structure have heretofore been given. It is to meet this condition, to provide students of geology and paleontology with a suitable map and guide to this attractive region that I have asked Professor Graban to prepare the work that follows.
The Schoharie valley presents a geologic section almost nu equaled ia this State for its completeness. It begins low in the series with the last stages of the Lower Siluric (lorraine) and runs high into the base of the Upper Devonic; its localities are compactly assembled and easily accessible. The valley is beau tiful. Fertile. Hospitable and well supplied with the conveniences of living. The spot is ideal for the pursuit of an intimate ac quaintance with a very considerable and typical representation of New York geology.
