Bull Formation - Bomoseen Graywacke member

Pale-reddish-brown to light-gray-weathering, medium- and fine-grained, massive to thickly bedded, olive-green to gray micaceous quartz-feldspar graywacke and siltstone, locally containing coarse detrital muscovite, biotite, and autoclastic slate chips. Resembles finer grained parts of the Rensselaer Graywacke Member of the Nassau Formation (of Potter, 1972), and the Bird Mountain Grit (of Dale, 1900). Unit interfingers with and grades laterally into the Mettawee slate facies. In the Mt. Anthony area is shown as CZnb (Bomoseen Member of the Nassau Formation of Potter, 1972).
