Type locality for Bossardville Limestone, an extensive formation of Upper Silurian aged light-grey to medium dark grey limestone, occasionally containing fossils. Found in North Eastern Pennsylvania and in adjoining regions of New York and New Jersey.
A vivid apple green material found in localized abundance in calcite veins at this locality may be pargasite but more research is needed.
