| EURYPTERIDS |
| In Eastern New York, Eurypterus is common above and below the occur- rences of E. jerseyensis in the Coble- skill Formation. In Western New York State, limestones of the Cobleskill give way to the dolomitic sequence (Williamsville and overlying Akron Dolostones of the Bertie Group). The Eurypterus lacustris Biozone is thus associated intimately with that of the zonal Eccentricosta jerseyensis. |
