3. 34. 6. This gabbro is very coarse and in
word of the mass strongly amygdaloidal.
It is a narrow by a little patch of very
much baked shale about 5 or 6 feet thick.
This baked shale is filled throughout
with large unstratified & light colored
laminated bands nearly 2 inches wide
generally, and with few stratae
of much the same like footpath. This
famous 6.33-4a occurs foot due west of
the south end of Weyors Island in the
shale along right side. The famous is "p",
presently the same as the Clearfield shed
series, also 6. 34. 6 a. The shale here
is only a gabbro dome and appear to
have general dips. Three beds
with very large lamellabranche reappear
further north along the shore a little
north of west of the north end of
Kodgers Island. The shale here appear
to be over 50 feet thick as much
baked & brecciated in places and are
broken up into blocks of a couple of
rods. Except the different streaks
striking & dipping in different directions
(more horizontal). The cause of the
brecking appears to be a large gabbro
mass forming the country a few yards
west of the shore. This is also of
sediment washed b. This patch of sed-
imment may be traced somewhat eastly
across the road where some good
laminabranche may be found in the
west side of road just on the right side
a cottage f. This patch is love distinctly
too to flank the top of a dome of
gabbro, and the gable marked "f"
(sketch map) similar flanks a dome
of gabbro. The are by sediment
includ d also flanks a dome of
gabbro on the west and dips under
shale on the east. "d" strikes
N. 20° W. and dips 40° E 20° N. It con-
tains some lamellabranche (top) and
6.349
ostrodote too good preserved to identify,
all by themselves but apparently the same
as 6. 34-3a, The beds are shale & calc.
core again.

North Lubec Ferry northward.
From the ferry wharf northward
the gabbro skirts the entire shore as far
as Reynolds Cove except for a small area of
extremely baked sediment not more
than a couple of feet thick merging
with few dome of gabbro giving just at
1/4 south of the southern point in rather
6.34.3. The twenty track of the shore along
this stretch as far as Reynolds Cove is low
lying & may possibly be underlain by sediment
although the gabbro veins all along the
shore as far as Reynolds Cove Point.
Rounding Reynolds Cove Point which is
a mass of gabbro (=1085) we cross
suddenly upon a mass of limestone while
gas under the gabbro and which form a
cliff 15 feet high. These are calcareous
lensels from 1 to 3 inches thick inter-
stratified with bands of equal thickness
of more grayish limestone. These are
hardly more than a couple of miles of
them slaty parting in the entire section.
The limestones are nearly horizontal
striking generally N. 35° E. and dipping
slight 10 degrees Ethe south 55° hit-
at the point the rebov land for a
sample of rods and gas beneath striking
N. 26 W. and dipping 15° E. 20° N. The
gabbro overlying cuts across as an
uneven angle resembling an erosion
unconformity and thereby is also
and still as represented in the sketch
