berg in the fjord. Eggewah's & Syng
with Badu's topics in foreground.
30.2/65 Umanak, looking W or N.W.
across Westervolne Sound to show
berg. Nechutislasoki (Aragonites) -
topic + fjord with Floriupgon in
foreground.
11.VIII: 1916. Went with Steblaw to cliffs
of Huronian sedimentaries forming
south side of North Star Bay and
at about one-half mile from heady
bay collected Specs. 689, 690, 691
of the aragonite(?) and calcite and
aragonite (?) bands intercalated
with the shales. In the two specs.
(690 + 691) wh. show calcite, that
is above the aragonite in position.
There are many of these bands in
a zone not less than 15 or 20 feet thick
and they extend for long distances
with much regularity of thickness,
though all are thin. As shown in
these specimens the bands 1 1/2 - 2 "
thick contain partings of shale.
None that I saw exposed here showed
clear aragonite(?) as thick as
spec. 684 from loose fragments in
the Umanak Bay.
