NYSGA 2006 Field Trip B3, stop 3 at an unnamed tributary of Cayuga Creek. This trip explored the end of the Hamilton Group and the start of the Taghanic wierdness that leads to unconformities, time-compressed lag deposits (two million years represented in a couple of inches of rock) and nearly anoxic black shales. Professor Gordon Baird, SUNY Fredonia, pulls out a block of Penn Yan shale looking for a styolinid layer called the "Linden Bed." Professor Bill Kirchgasser, SUNY Potsdam, loupe at the ready, may have found it. Professor Andrew Bush, University of Connecticut, gets his stratigraphic bearings.
