Java Formation of Late Devonian Age in Western and Central New York¹: GEOLOGICAL NOTES Available to Purchase

The name Java formation is here proposed for the cyclically deposited Upper Devonian rocks in western and central New York that have been described previously (Pepper and de Witt, 1950) as the Wiscoy sandstone and equivalent Hanover shale. Since the stratigraphic relation of the different facies constituting this cycle of deposition was worked out, the stratigraphy of several similar cycles of deposition in the Upper Devonian rocks in the western half of New York has been described (Pepper and de Witt, 1951; Pepper, de Witt, and Colton, 1956; Colton and de Witt, 1958; de Witt and...
