Seven of these formations are found in normal undis-turbed sequence northeast of Lancaster, as follows: Cocalico shale 1 Beekmantown limestone ( Conococlieague limestone Upper Cambrian. Elbrook limestone Middle Cambrian. Ledger dolomite ^ Kinzers formation L Lower Cambrian. Vintage dolomite I These correspond in part with the limestone formations tha
