14 chole. Nearly all the layers are coarsely wave marked in variable directions and fossils are very common. A seam at about 12 ft. above 3.32.6 gave some Calceum and also Lingula & few Spiriditra = 3.32.6 D. The upper half of the beds exposed on the island both crop out on the shore & the end where the strike W 10° N. dip at an angle of 36° N. 10° E. They are here and by a thrust trap like 10 feet which = 10.66 which bears N 30° W. and is nearly vertical. Twenty foot further north another limb dips gently a fork of 10.66. It bears N 18° W. and its 1067. 1067 is however coarser grained and then 10.66 the latter is a little different sloped more blunt. Above this trap strike 1067 are 16 ft. of bluish gray flags & calcareous beds similar to these including 3.32.6 D. and which are often identical with them & cannot at any then, mistake the letter. The strike in W. 10° N. dips 34° North. 10° E. Again! 3.32.6 D², include Spiriditra - bedded sand-Lingula same. This then creates a covered gap 100 ft. long along the strike & then appears a series of red & gray beds beginning with a foot & a half of bluish gray green massive shale overlain by 10 feet of red beds shale & 8 ft. of red leach = 3.32.6 E are taken, " that 3 uneven rugged flaggy layers separated & thin partings of shale. The fair members Amellilanchet flags, but apparently no Spiriditra. Some of the foggy layers are very marked. 3.32.6 E is at the base of the red beds & in the middle (5 ft. time 3.32.6 E and 3.32.6 E is 2 ft. below the top immediately below this and seam of bluish green shale. The 10 ft. of red beds, 3.32.6 E are followed by 5 ft. of flags gray & grayish dark-green shale & celery flags? Washable are fissile" in 3" to 5" seams with 1" & 2" flaggy layers be green. A thick 8" shelly sandstone or fog at the base inside in those 3 ft. of gray beds = 3.32.6 E? of a couple of inches below this and fault is visible on the east side. N x S, nearly 3.32.6 is followed by 12 ft. of red beds morely thin flaggy shale dipping not 12 ft. of red beds 3.32.6 contain (a) 2 ft. of thin & scales, (b) a massive thick bed calcareous band (5 inches of shale, (c) 5" foggy shelly to 8" right ft. of alternating red shales with flaggy layers 1" to 3" with shales & flags about equal the flags are were worked on upper surfaces, wave marks include with the beam type x 60 scale mark. People refer to it. The 10 ft. of red shales & flags, 3.32.6 E are followed by 9 ft. of gray flags & shales. The flags all very dressed & all are interbedded. The wave marks here & elsewhere the beam type. Flags 2 to 4 inches thick. Shale seams nearly ceeding 5 inches. Calcareous seams on unit thick are very common but as usual punch out where followed for a few yards. Spiriditra is common in the gray beds which are very fossiligons = 3.32.6 E? K. 3.32.6 3.32.6 3.32.6 the mile feet of gray beds are followed by 4 ft. of red 3.32.6 network shales on terrain punch to 3" thick interlaced first with spiral bands of red shale, partly also flaggy and then one or two tongue flags. On the terrain edge seams Spiriditra occur with lamellibranchs & Lingula = 3.32.6 E², 3.32.6 E² is a seam of lamellibranchs 2 inches below in the red shales. July 13, 1907. Then follow 20 feet of gray shales thin flags 3.32.6 K which strike like this work below N 7° W. & 70° S. dip to the west at an angle of 40°. The opposite hand is a massive quartzose shale by a foot or more thick. West the middle of 3.32.6 E occurs 4 & 8 ft. of bluish green and red of dull beds with gas strings distorted alternating also beds both in bed 1 below maintain the normal strike & dip. They are often erratic volcanic nodules. Also Celery flags, of 3.32.6 K are abundantly ripple marked. The ripples vary from E x W. to N.E x S.W. 5.33.5) (Monday July 1, 1907.) A On the east side of Pleasant Point opposite the Church there occur on the shore zone middle outcrop (below by tide) of gray coarse shelly layers & calcareous seams strike N 37° E. and dipping 28° NW. The rocks contain some Spiriditra, lamellibranchs & Lingula, sparingly the shales abundantly in some of the calcareous seams 3.33.4 = 3.33.5 A². The sediments are cut by a vertical 3 ft. trap like which bears N. 28° W. Tuesday July 1, 1907 (cont. p. 20). I note took a page 3.5 3.33.8 on the west side of Pleasant Point on the north shore of the sea side in 3.33.8 there run off along the next third of 3.33.5 a little cliff of coarse gray shales & abundant calcareous shelly grit of which the cliff is over 150 feet long, but the rocks are for a nearly level there being a drop then only 11° to 18° to the north strike E. 8° N. (left in strike 3.32.6. Then 15 feet are exposed. The coarse gray flaggy shales are also nearly ripple marked & the ripples lying E. 4° South. From 3.33.8 A a 5 inch calcareous seam near the base containing Spiriditra, Lingula & fish remains = 3.33.8 B includes the fossils from several horizons in the upper 1 feet. Spiriditra seams with few figures are common, now lamellibranchs occur in the shales with an occasional Spiriditra & Lingula. The shales are cut off on the west 7 feet intension which is very dark (of Blackford red beds) at the contact for several foot of 3.1049 - rhodolite 1½ ft. west of contact in 29 is 10 & in 30 is 25 ft. most of contact 3.33.8
