	Onondaga (geological formation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In upstate New York and southern Ontario the sedimentary rocks tend to slope slightly to the southward, and the Onondaga outcrops in a line that usually forms an escarpment (the steep face of a cuesta), because of its resistance to erosion.
		The formation is broken by the only major fault line in western New York, the Linden Fault just east of Batavia, where the eastern side of the fault has dropped down and the ledge moved southward relative to the western side.
		The Onondaga Formation also can be found in other areas where rocks of the same age outcrop, such as in western Pennsylvania and Michigan but they do not form prominent geographic features.

	JWA V1N2 - Sourcing of Chert Artifacts by INAA by Julig
		Geological samples in the range of 200 to 600 mg were used for INAA, while archaeological samples varied in size from 50 to 10,000 mg (in the case of some whole artifacts).
		The geological samples are obtained by flaking chert cobbles with a moose antler billet and then snapping off appropriate sized flake fragments, washing them in distilled water, air drying and then sealing in polyethylene vials for irradiation after being weighed.
		The three prospective geological sources were tested by INAA for 15 short half-life producing elements; and based on the elemental concentrations of Al, Si, U, Dy, and Cl (plotted on a ternary diagram) it was shown that geological KRF was separate from the HBL and agates.

	R. T. Brown (1854) - Geological Survey of the State of Indiana
		Hence the older or lower formations will be found cropping out along the Eastern boundary of the State, and as we proceed Westward, losing themselves by dipping under the higher members in the geological scale, which, in turn, are lost in the same manner.
		The geological position of this point is very similar to that of the Kanawha and Muskingum salt regions, and I see no reason why the manufacture of this indispensable article of commerce and use should not be made as economically here as elsewhere.
		On tracing the coal seams eastward from Lodi, we observed the strata to rise at the rate of between 30 and 40 feet to the mile, which may be regarded as the range of the uniform dip of the geological formations along the Wabash, at least in its middle sections.

	Seq Strat Mid Paleo Rocks Appala
		We intend to pursue this project with chemical fingerprinting of the bentonites and attempts at correlations between the Appalachian foreland basin and the mid-continent region.
		It is also intriguing that a newly recognized interval of strongly dolomitized bioherms (previously considered to be collapse breccias) from the middle upper Wenlock Lilly/upper Bisher formations may correlate with the widespread Gasport “reef” tract in the Appalachian Basin.
		A final interesting development is the recognition of a 0.5 to 1 m interval of strongly deformed, silty dolostones within the Bisher Formation of Ohio and Kentucky.

		Drainage class (natural) Refers to the frequency and duration of periods of saturation or partial saturation during soil formation, as opposed to altered drainage which is commonly the result of artificial drainage or irrigation but may be caused by the sudden deepening of channels or the blocking of drainage outlets.
		Erosion (geologic) Erosion caused by geologic processes acting over long geologic periods and resulting in the wearing away of mountains and the building up of such landscape features as flood plains and coastal plains.
		Layers in soils that result from the processes of soil formation are called horizons; those inherited from the parent material are called strata.

	Short Explanation of the Geological Structure of Pennsylvania
		Where these carboniferous sandrocks (No. XII and X) have been preserved in geological basins, run the mountain ranges, with patches of coal on their tops; where they were arched, they have been destroyed, and valleys of older, lower, softer, Devonian formations, Catskill (IX) and Chemung (VIII), have taken the place of former much higher mountains.
		The same effect has been produced by the erosion of the corrugated mass as is obtained by planing smooth a log of gnarled wood; and the color-lines upon the map may be considered as imitating the natural graining of a piece of furniture.
		But the errors discovered in these county and township maps in following the outcrops of the geological formations from stream to stream and from road to road are innumerable, and, in a multitude of places, large.

		After the ice melted back, drainage from the upper Great Lakes became the present day Niagara River, which could not follow the old filled valley, so it found the lowest outlet on the rearranged topography.
		In time the river cut a gorge across the Niagara escarpment, the north facing cliff or cuesta formed by erosion of the southwardly dipping (tilted) and resistant Lockport formation between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.
		In doing so it exposed old marine rocks that are much older than the geologically recent glaciation.
