Tuesday, July 2, 1907. P.M. Prince's Cove in the north-west corner of Prince's Cove are seen some trap intrusions & laked slabs. The slabs contain some small Lingula & store lamellibranchs [lost collected] and are nearly horizontal with low wrinkles. Further down on the west side under the bearing gneissy rocks of Mr. Leonard, I between just under 2 north of the shore of the Lynn secure a series of a few feet of very much laked slabs which are nearly horizontal and contain several seams of large nodulospisid lamellibranchs & a few Lingulae = B.1.4 c. These slabs are cut by a narrow trap-like dike two feet wide or less, of a massive coarse grained rock = 1077 which may be followed as illustrated in the sketch into the hills for hundreds of feet; to that the so-called dike is really a fracture. The moltten rock coming up between A & B and spread down over C where it is many yards thick & long. being traceable continuously into the red mass of Little Rock. Saturday July 6, 1907 (cont. from Tuesday July 2-07). Pleasant Point near this. Between the phyllite strike in 3.33.8 and the phyllite flow conforming the south- pointed cape in 3.33.7 there occurs in the little cove an exposure of MARINE CLAY WITH FOSSILS. These fossils may be obtained about 10 feet north of the purple phyllite flow mass and include chiefly The Mya (Macoma ?) like shell found everywhere on the present beaches Mytilus edulis and barnacles (Balanus) also Panope. No Pidda observed. The shells are the same as those living in a few rods away. The exposures are a perfect above extreme tide mark. The east side of the cape is composed of a purple phyllite glass = 1076 presumably a flow though there are no indications of flow except the glassy structure texture. There are injections into the purple glass of a coarse grained trap = 1077 which also occurs as thick dikes in the purple phyllite. There are several such dikes. 20 2-21.1 (3.1.4 A) 2-21.1 33877 33877 21
