Sediments of Devonian age accumulated as a sedimentary wedge to as much as 10,000 feet in the Catskills region; these sedimentary deposits are thickest in the east and grow progressively thinner westward and southward. Massive accumulations of conglomerate and sandstone exposed along the eastern edge of the Catskills plateau led to an early interpretation that the Catskills formed as a great delta-type deposit, similar to the modern greater Mississippi Delta.
The large number and pristine condition of steep-sided ravines in the Catskills is ecologically significant; these ravines, such as Wildcat Ravine, occur on the headwater streams feeding into Kaaterskill Clove, which bisects the Catskill Escarpment. Cliff and ledge communities in these ravines support rare plants, including the state-listed endangered roseroot stonecrop and the state-listed threatened fragrant cliff fern.
