Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Geology of Mercer County
The geology of Mercer County is rendered difficult by the almost universal covering of Northern Drift, which conceals most of the Coal Measure outcrops in the north eastern townships, and much of the upland surface between the main streams in all other parts of the county. This however has not prevented the author of this report from discovering and describing with sufficient fullness and in sufficient detail all the useful geological features of the county. Whatever uncertainties remain are not of an economical, but of a systematic character but these should be pointed out to geological experts. The first of these uncertainties respects the arrangement of the Kittanning Group. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
