Excerpt from Description of the Geology of the State of New Jersey: Being a Final ReportThroughout this entire district the strata are very nearly hori zontal, excepting a brown sandstone and a thin limestone, both of which occur only in a few localities of limited range, the mineral deposits are generally soft and uncemented masses, consisting of a series of alternating sands and clays. From the evidence derived from the organic remains imbedded in the strata of the southern half of the State, these belong, with very few exceptions, to the latest period of the secondary formations of our continent. The exceptions referred to are a few very local and shallow deposits of a still later tertiary date.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
