Paleo currents in Normanskill along Hudson River - 81k - click to enlarge

Abstract

Normanskill graywacke beds, well exposed along the Hudson River, contain abundant sole markings which indicate paleocurrents flowing in various directions. Northeasterly and north-westerly flow were dominant directions, but sole markings indicating currents toward almost all other directions exist. The considerable divergence of paleocurrents suggests a greater complexity of Ordovician paleogeography than is generally assumed.
