Description
Excerpt from Geology of the City of New York: Greater New York
In geological affinities, if the term may be used, Manhattan and the Bronx are allied to northern or primordial, even archaean structures; Richmond, Kings and Queens to southern and recent, though, indeed, in Richmond, there is a problematical nucleus of serpentine hills, probably derivative from crystalline schists, similar to those of Manhattan Island.
In view of this diversity of feature the discussion of the topo graphical conditions and the geological nature of the City of New York will naturally fall into three sections; first that of Manhattan Island, with an appendix embracing brie?y the similar construction of the Borough of the Bronx; second, that of Brooklyn and Queens and third, that of Richmond.
