Pg. 2 (fig. 1), 31-33, 55-57, 63-65, pl. 1. Flatbrookville Member of New Scotland Formation of Helderberg Group. Consists of medium-dark-gray siliceous and calcareous fossiliferous shale that weathers medium-gray; beds and lenses of medium-gray, fine-grained, argillaceous, very fossiliferous limestone that weathers medium-light-gray; and nodules and lenses of dark-gray chert. The shale exhibits slaty cleavage; the limestone has weak fracture cleavage. Member present in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. Persists to the southwest end of Godfrey Ridge in Saylorsburg quadrangle. Generally poorly exposed; complete exposures unknown in New Jersey and northeastern Pennsylvania. Thickness at reference section is 33 feet; is about 20 feet thick in Lake Maskenozha quadrangle, New Jersey. Abruptly overlies Stormville Member of Coeymans Formation southwest of [Hainesville], New Jersey, and grades down into Kalkberg Limestone northeast of [Hainesville]. Underlies Maskenozha Member (new) of New Scotland Formation abruptly; upper contact placed at highest occurrence of abundant dark-gray chert and abundant pure limestone beds and below the dark-gray laminated shales of the Maskenozha. Has more diverse fauna than Maskenozha. MACROPLEURA MACROPLEURA, LAEPTAENA "RHOMBOIDALIS," and ISORTHIS PERELEGANS abundant. There are many other brachiopods, bryozoans, corals, crinoid columnals, trilobites, and ostracodes as well. Age is Early Devonian. Report includes measured sections.
