What reading level is Manual of Geology book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Niagara epoch, or that of the Niagara shale and limestone (5 d), 1. ONEIDA EPOCH (6 a).
I. Rooks : Idnda and diatxibutlon.
In the Interior CorUinenlcU basin there are no Oneida rocks, except in its northeastern comer. The Oneida conglomerate (5 a, map, p. 170) is the surface-rock in central New York, in Oneida and Oswego counties, and west to Lake Ontturio, lying just south of the outcropping Hudson River beds. It is 20 to 120 feet thick in this region. Going eastward, it disappears, being very... thin in Herkimer CO., and not occurring at all in the Helderberg Mountains south of Albany. In the Appalachian region it has great thickness. In the Shawangunk Mountains, in southeastern New York (which are within this region), the rock is nearly 500 feet thick, and is called the Shawangunk grit. It is still thicker to the southwest, in Pennsylvania, being 700 feet thick in the Kittatinny valley.
It continues on through Virginia, following the course of the Appalachians.
The rock is a hard, gritty conglomerate or sandstone, of a grayish color, made of rounded quartz pebbles and sand, or of coarse sand alone, very firmly cemented.
