Group the Chazy, Bird's Eye, Black River, and Tren ton Groups. It is the oldest known fossiliferous limestone, is calcareo-silicious in character, as its name indicates, and is the lowest member of the series capable of yielding either hydraulic lime or cement. In many localities, it exhibits the water-lined laminae of deposition in a marked and conspicuous degree.
Three distinct masses Of this rock are usually Observed wherever it presents a fully developed outcrop.
