Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ...has transgressed a few miles into the Canajoharie shale area while in others some western marginal cakes of the Snake Hill beds have been left only shattered by fault slips. Thus in Albany county the Canajoharie shale belt striking along the Hudson river has become, partly at least, involved in the folding, while on the Saratoga sheet the Snake Hill shales west of Saratoga lake are only tilted and broken. The boundary between the folded and unfolded areas follows thus on the Schuylerville quadrangle the longer axis of Saratoga lake, being probably in part responsible for the existence of this basin in that place. It thence continues northwest passing west of Kendricks hill where folded Snake Hill shales are exposed. The folded area may also include the last outcrops of Canajoharie shale on the Snook kill below Gansevoort, the shale being there in steeply eastward dipping position. In general, however, the boundary of the folded and unfolded regions coincides so closely with the Canajoharie-Snake Hill boundary that the proposition of the folding and shoving of the eastern series of shales upon and against the western is well supported by this fact. The crumpling up of a narrow belt of Canajoharie shale in front of the folded area in Albany county on one hand and the shoving westward of a cake of Snake Hill beds without folding (but with much slipping, see below page I03) in Saratoga county on the other hand, both result from the varying resistance offered the oncoming waves of pressure and of folds from the east, through the thickness of the opposing strata and the weight of their covering formations. It appears from the fact that some of the outcrops on the southeast shore of Saratoga lake (on the Cohoes quadrangle) show-a great number of closely...
