DescriptionThe formation is composed of relatively soft grayish-red shale and olive-gray sandstone. It is located in north central Pennsylvania.[1][2][3] HaystacksThe Haystacks are enigmatic mounds of sandstone that outcrop in Loyalsock Creek south of Dushore in Sullivan County. They are a single bed of quartz sandstone with an undulating upper surface with up to one meter relief. The origin of the mounds is debatable.[4] Notable Exposures
StratigraphyGeologist William E. Edmunds argues that the Huntley Mountain Formation is laterally equivalent to the Rockwell Formation (originally described in West Virginia) and the Spechty Kopf Formation. He proposes that the Pocono Formation be reinstated as "the dominantly non-red, non-marine clastic sequence between the Catskill and Mauch Chunk Formations", with the Huntley Mountain, Beckville, Burgoon, Rockwell, Mt. Carbon, and Spechty Kopf Formations demoted to the status of members of the Pocono Formation.[5] Other workers support this interpretation.[6] References1. ^{{cite web| url = http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/topogeo/map61/eaglesmere.pdf | title = Atlas of Preliminary Geologic Quadrangle Maps of Pennsylvania: Eagles Mere | accessdate = 2008-05-21 | author = Berg, T.M. |publisher = Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Bureau of Topographic and Geologic Survey | year = 1981 | format = PDF}} 2. ^{{cite web | url = http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/topogeo/pub/map/pdfs/map067_tabloid_exp.pdf |title = Map 67: Tabloid Edition Explanation |publisher = Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Bureau of Topographic and Geologic Survey |format = PDF}} 3. ^{{cite web | url = http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/topogeo/parkguides/Pg12.PDF | title = Pennsylvania Trail of Geology, Worlds End State Park, Sullivan County, Geologic Features of Interest (Park Guide 12) |last = Royer |first = Denise W | accessdate = 2007-08-28 | publisher = Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources |format= PDF}} 4. ^The Haystacks, "Ricketts Folly," and The End of the World: Geology of the Glaciated Allegheny High Plateau, Sullivan, Luzerne, and Columbia Counties, Pennsylvania, 71st Annual Field Conference of Pennsylvania Geologists (field trip guide book), J.
