Pieces of the conglomerate are easy to recognize and have been found in glacial deposits throughout the lower Hudson Valley region.[2] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web|last1=Volkert|first1=Richard A.|title=OFM 104, Bedrock Geologic Map of the Wawayanda Quadrangle and the New Jersey Part of the Pine Island Quadrangle, Sussex and Passaic Counties, New Jersey and Orange County, New York|url=http://www.state.nj.us/dep/njgs/pricelst/ofmap/ofm104.pdf|publisher=New Jersey Geological and Water Survey}} {{NewJersey-geologic-formation-stub}}{{NewYork-geologic-formation-stub}}2. ^1 {{cite web|title=The Green Pond Outlier|url=http://3dparks.wr.usgs.gov/nyc/valleyandridge/greenpond.htm|publisher=U.S. Geological Survey}} 3 : Conglomerate formations|Geologic formations of New Jersey|Geologic formations of New York (state) |
