Approximately 75 vertical feet of the Glens Falls Limestone occur along
the Park beach. The rocks are _black_[8] or blue-black on a fresh
surface, gray or grayish-white on a surface which has been exposed to
the weather. Most of the individual beds or layers are 5 to 7 inches
thick (see Fig. 6) with the thickest being just under 5 feet. The beds
are separated by thin “partings” of rock, many of which contain abundant
fossils. The beds consist of massive limestone, shaly limestone or limy
shale; the partings are generally limy shale or shaly limestone.

sea floor.
