Cherry Ridge Member, Honesdale Sandstone Member and Damascus Members of Catskill Formation are designated here because authors believe they are correlative with Cherry Ridge red beds, Honesdale sandstone, and Damascus red shale subdivisions of the Catskill Formation of eastern and northeastern PA described by Willard and others (1939). Where Honesdale is absent, Cherry Ridge and Damascus cannot be differentiated. Age is Late Devonian.
