Summary:

Russia Member of Denley Limestone divided into three informal units referred to as divisions: ascending Wolf Hollow, Brayton Corners and High Falls. High Falls is apparently a tongue of the Dolgeville Formation as authors state, "* * * the Brayton Corner lithology grades into a 4 meter interval of predominantly calcilutites and interbedded shales (Dolgeville lithology). This High Falls Tongue of the Dolgeville is disconformably overlain by basal Rust strata."
