BEEKMANTOWN GROUP
The Beekmantown Group is a Lower Ordovician sandy dolostone consisting of a lower
March Formation and an upper Oxford Formation. The March Formation consists of
interbedded quartz sandstone and sandy dolostones with some conodont faunas and
burrows reported. The Oxford Formation consists of dolostone with shaly and sandy
interbeds. The dolostones show desiccation cracks, stylolites, burrows and soft
sediment deformation. Some poorly preserved trilobites can be found in this formation.
