This stream, | which must remain nameless, flow- ed through Cook's gap, better known as White Oak, and is respoasible for the remarkable pass along which he aute, steam and electric roads pass hetween the towering | traprock cliffs to the mnorth and south. The presence of this break in the cliffs led to the first suspicion of the | ancient river, as no other cause for miniature canyon could be found. There is no fault in the rocks at the point, and the only explanation was that a river once cut its way through as the Colorado river has done on a tremendously larger scale in the Grand Canyor The erosion caused by the two rivers was substantially the same. Back in what is called the Triassic period of geo'ogic time, millions of years ago, this “dead” river flowed through the gap from west to east. | Its upper course is unknown, but it may have come down from Although the absence of rivers in | New Britain is bemoaned by manu- | \ i through th | up to form Massachusetts line or perhaps across | from western Connecticut. Its lower channel is likewisc a mystery, hav- ing been wiped out by the glucier, but it probably found its way event- ually into the predecessor of the Connecticut river. During the Triassic epoch the {land in New England broke {nto great chunks or blocks, which were tilted g0 that the western edges were higher than the castern. As | this tilting was part of a continued \mhf! of the whole regicn, the river offset the movement by cutting through the rising land and main- taining its original channel. ! movement, very slow, left the pres | ent bluffs Much later in almost recent ‘imes as geology goes, the rive course.
