Chapter 2 offers a summary of the regional geomorphology (landscapes and its origin). Chapter 3 provides the technical details of the physical stratigraphy of the Genesee Formation in Western and CentralNew York. The chapter addresses rocks occurring above and below the Genesee Formation along with the members included in the formation. Depositional environments are also discussed. Chapter 4 focuses on Watkins Glen State Park's geology, discussing the park and the technical details on the rocks that compose the Bouma sequences.
