| Full Text: | 38 LEHIGH COUNTY PRIME, FREDERICK, Jr. On the Discovery of Lower Silurian Fossils in Limestone associated with Hydro-mica Slates, and on other points in the Geology of Lehigh and Northampton Counties, Eastern Pennsylvania. Am. Jour. Sci. and Arts, 3d ser., vol. 15, pp. 261-269, New Haven, 1878. A very good description of the Potsdam (Hardyston) sandstones and quartzites, the hydro-mica slates (Tomstown), the No. II or Magnesian limestones (Allentown and Beekmantown), Trenton (Jacksonburg) limestones, and No. III (Martinsburg) slates. Discusses the characteristics and origin of the brown hematite (limonite) iron ores of the region. A few fossils found in Northampton County are described. This paper was first published in Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society under the title "On the Paleozoic Rocks of Lehigh and Northampton Counties, Pennsylvania." 1879 CLAUDER, H. J.
