Cover lightly soiled. Text pages are NEAR FINE. No underlining. No highlighting. No margin notes. Illustrated with map, line drawings, and 4 photographic plates. Table. Reprinted for the Club from the AMERICAN MINERALOGIST, 1919. From the text: "Bergen Hill is about 19 kilometers (12 miles) long and 1.6 kilometers (1 mile) wide, comprising a range of bluffs of Triassic diabase. It commences at Bergen Point and runs behind Jersey City and Hoboken to a point in Weehawken about opposite Thirty-fifth Street in New York City. Here it comes close to the Hudson River and continues north for some 29 kilometers (18 miles) to Piermont, being known as the Palisades. The Bergen Hill region has long been noted as a locality for zeolites and associated minerals. When the announcement was made that the Erie Railroad Company had begun the construction of an open cut thru the hill, local collectors interested in mineralogy looked forward to the collecting of fine specimens. This interest was fully justified from the history of past borings thru Bergen hill. Among the zeolites and related minerals found were: stilbite, laumontite, gmelinite, analcite, natrolite, apophyllite, pectolite and datolite, and of common occurrence with these were quartz, calcite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite and diabantite. While the minerals from the extrusive basalts of West Peterson, Great Notch, and Upper Montclair, are found in cavernous openings, amygdules, vugs, etc., the Bergen Archways minerals were confined to veins. Prehnite, heulandite and thomsonite, found so abundantly at the former localities, were not noted, tho Dana lists these minerals from Bergen Hill. A brief description of minerals found by the writer follows." This copy is from the library of scientist and author Robert B. Sosman, with his tiny ink stamp.
