As far as fossils go: On Rte. 20 they are Silurian, and Rte. 20 is great

STAYS Devonian well into Pa., where it turns (of course) into Pennsylvanian and
Mississippian. Minerals in NY are scarce except in the North Country and on the
eastern edge. ……JayDee (in the heartland of Devonian, with no minerals.
