Stratigraphy of the Onondaga Limestone (Devonian) in Central New York

Diversity, speciation, endemism and extinction in Devonian reef and level-bottom communities, eastern North America

“…The Formosa Reef and Amherstburg are units of the lower Detroit River Group which appears to conformably overlie the Bois Blanc in parts of Ontario and Michigan. The stromatoporoids from all of these rocks were described or identified by Fagerstrom (1982) and the corals by Oliver (1954Oliver ( , 1976, Oliver and Sorauf (1981) and Fagerstrom (1961a). Fagerstrom (1961aFagerstrom ( , 1971 described the Formosa Reef and Detroit River brachiopods and Fagerstrom (1961 a) and Oliver (1954) described or identified the gastropods.…”

Geophysical, stratigraphic, and flow-zone logs of selected test, monitor, and water-supply wells in Cayuga County, New York

“…The stratigraphy of central New York has been described by Harris (1905), Luther (1910), Oliver (1954, Rickard (1962Rickard ( , 1975Rickard ( , and 1989, Demicco and others (1992), Brett and Ver Straeten (1994), and Brett and others (2000). The stratigraphic units penetrated by test wells 181 and 186 were identified by characterization and correlation of the core samples and gamma logs.…”

Changes in stratigraphic nomenclature by the U. S. Geological Survey, 1965

“…The Buffalo area Bois Blanc is the lower brachiopod unit of Stauffer (1915, p. 6) and Zone B or the Amphigenia zone of Oliver (1954, p. 626, 632;1960). Basal Sandstone Stauffer (1913, p. 85) proposed the name Springvale Sandstone Member for the basal sandy beds of the "Onondaga" in Ontario, and Chadwick (1919, p. 42) extended the usage of this term to New York.…”
