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

of inches below this and fault is visible on the east side.

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.

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
