Köppen climate type:
Emerson (1895) reports: "In the insect-bearing leaf beds which crop out in the east bank of the Connecticut River 100 rods above the bridge over the Fort River, near its mouth. These leaf beds are cross sections of old beds of the Fort River. The vivianite occurs as a replacement of leaf stems, and disseminated in the fine sand in quite large patches. It often coats the wings of insects."
