Summary:

Thick bedded to massive coarse quartz arkose conglomerate is here named the Solebury Member of the Stockton Formation. It lies 720 ft (220 m) above the base of the Stockton in the Delaware River section and is 387 ft (148 m) thick. Age is Late Triassic. McLauglin (1945, Penns. Ac. of Sc. Proceed. vol. 19, p. 102-112) described this interval as a body of conglomerate in the Stockton formation that forms a ridge on the east bank of the Delaware River between Brookville and Stockton and in the schoolyard in Stockton. It lies 700 ft (210 m) above the base of the Stockton and is 200 to 300 ft (60 to 90 m) thick.
