Book Description
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Boston Society of Natural History, 1876-1878, Vol. 19 The limestones of the Levis division contain a very abundant fauna described by Billings, which was shown by him to belong to an horizon near that of the Calciferous and Chazy divisions of the New York series. It is this fauna which has been looked upon as indicating elsewhere the presence of the Quebec group. These three divisions at Quebec have a measured thickness of over five thousand feet, and are found dipping at a high angle to the southeast. The whole was described by Logan as having originally occupied a posi tion conformably beneath the Trenton limestone of the vicinity, and as having been brought to the surface by a great break and uplift of the strata.
