Kpt. Index July 5, 1907 Birch Point. (Section see p. 18) 22 (a) On the point situated tide marks and continuing just above high tide are exposed bands 35 or 40 feet of thick coarse, sandy flags of a light gray color with a few thin portions of friable gray slate. These chalky flags are as much as 9 to 10 inches thick but split into 1" to 2" slabs. Many limonite rocks are abundant on these flags. Strike S. 75° W. Dip N. 15° W., 26°. No fossils found in 20 minutes. No calcar-eous seams nor nodules. Near the top occurs one or two thin "cotton" seams, also a half inch seam composed of angular larger fragments. (b) The preceding are overlain by about 20 ft. of light gray, even textured thick fleshy free-stone like rocks which readily turn nearly white and turn brown under acid but with no interference whatever. Strike S (approximately) 75° W. These slabs are exposed for a couple hundred feet along the beach just above high tide. The dip is 26° N. 15° W. Owing to the fact that the eastern side of the point trends north a few degrees east giving an apparent inclination of the rocks to the east whereas the westerly side dips toward the west, there is an appearance of an anticline but this does not exist as the same strike (S. 75-80° W.) and dip (26° N. 15° W.) are maintained on both sides, and the apparent anticline is therefore due to the bend of the coast. The rocks include a few cal-careous seams ½ inch thick and a couple of Oolitic bands (Callo epodite) 1" chalky which weather cream white & contain Lepidocia. The Lepidocia were collected just below east of the top of Birch Pt. (= 6.1.3a, and a foot higher, 6.1.3a²). Many of the layers contain large constant sun drainage cracks and a few contain pelecoids no rain prints; no more marks. The outcrop on the west side of the point for a couple of hundred ft is at a small angle from the beach so that the rocks appear to nearly level. (c) For 75 ft along the beach, the beds are abruptly discolored and bordered by folding and the strike abruptly changed. Strike N. 27° E × S. 27 W. or a change of about 50° turning toward the south. The dip is 27° W. 50° N. The rocks are flat, fleshy slate baked hard and a few thin calcareous seams and lenses near the southeast end and the rock is extremely fractured and worn. There is here a fault trending N. 15-20° by S. 15° E., but the rocks on both sides the fault are apparently the same except for the folding containing cylinder fissures & large shrinkage cracks and in one or two cases probably a granite sill, some lodes are traced. There is no strike in the vicinity. The top of the faulted area is formed by a thick massive 5-7 foot bed which may be followed on both sides the fault and is not displaced either vertically or horizontally except in the bend that appears at this angle of deflection of the strikes where the fault is situated. The structure is evidently due to lateral tension and deflection of the line of strike by a laterally thrusting force but without any notable deflection.
