Is the Helderberg Escarpment part of this formation?--Triskele Jim 16:43, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
This article is more about a geographic feature (escarpment) than about a geologic formation. For example the USGS recognizes the Onondaga in 6 states ( [1]), a much greater extent than implied by the map in this article. I think the article should be moved to Onondaga Escarpment so that more relevant geologic information can be included in this article and references to other escarpments can be deleted. The escarpment article can then link back to the formation article. Jstuby ( talk) 04:12, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
From the map in the article, comparing to Google maps, it looks like Skaneateles Falls (at Skaneateles Falls, New York) and Marcellus Falls (near Marcellus, New York) would be on the escarpment. Those are like rapids that descend over a fair distance, not as dramatic as Chittenango Falls. I'd like to add mention of them in this article and their own articles but is there a source to cite which states that they are on this escarpment?
Also there is
which is different, I think. And it is just south, I think: there is a Marcellus shale outcropping in Marcellus that is about 2 miles south of Marcellus Falls. -- do ncr am 20:07, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

The map shows the escarpment going well north of the Windsor, hitting Lake Huron about halfway between Windsor and the tip of the Bruce Peninsula. The content says the escarpment runs parallel to the Lake Erie shorline, all the way to Windsor.
I was struck by how the map's rendering of the escarpment has a curve in it very similar to that of the Grand River. I'd be interested in a map that showed the main course of the Grand, Mohawk and Hudson rivers. Geo Swan ( talk) 20:43, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
