Local Geology Figure 4 is a generalized geologic map of the New York region that shows the distribution of different rock and sediment types that underlies the area. You have been provided with samples of these rocks and sediments. Figure 5, on the next page, is a more detailed map of Manhattan and the Bronx. It shows the geology of these parts of New York City more accurately than can be depicted on the generalized geologic map in Figure 4. The locations where the rock samples were collected are indicated by circled numbers in the more detailed maps of Figure 2 (samples 8-12); and Figure 5 (samples 1-7). The rocks of samples 6 and 7 occur just to the east and to the west of the Palisades and were collected from both places.

MILES SAMPLE 1 60 FIGURE 5. Geologic map of Manhattan, the Bronx, and the Palisades of New Jersey. Formations are indicated by the patterns given in the legend. A "formation' is an area of similar bedrock. 2 Examine samples I through 7, and the geological maps in figures 4 and 5. These maps will allow you to determine the names of each sample. On the table below, identify the rock formation from which each sample was collected, and indicate whether the sample is a sedimentary (S), igneous (1), or metamorphic (M) rock.
