and dip N. 25° E. about 20° base
Limestone occurs by a thin one
foot to two foot and dips of a very
light color and which is amygdala
tized in places. This dike =1087 first
and forks in nearly all directions.
Within not far 15 feet of the gallo
dike, the acid dikes fork but the
forks do not pass through the gallo
nor as they parallel in the other (S.E.)
side of the gallo. Between elzabeta
and the acid there is a thinned limestone
gap of 10 feet which is not penetrated
at the surface by the and so that it is
impossible to ascertain here whether
the and intrudes the gallo or vice versa.
The gallo however distinctly cuts across
the path of the and.
On the east side of the little
core of the head of the promontory
in 6-24-5 there occurs a two foot vein (C)
of dark gray nearly blackish coarse
grounded rock which effervesces strongly
under acid. It is markedly different from
the surrounding limestones in texture
& durability besides green color and
appears to be a volcanic sill. It is
annularly subhorizontal vertically, and
with fine angular porphyryte in the lower
6 inches. This rock 1088 is most
distinctly cut through by THE and
schistone 1087. (See map).
The western point forming the
promontory in 6-24-5 is composed of
the porphyry 1089. This porphyry has a
very light gray magma and in
places has few phenocrysts. One such
specimen is 1090, without phenocrysts.
THE PORPHYRY IS DISTINCTLY CUT BY!
AND INCLUDES A 2-6 FOOT GABBRO
DIKE which is almost entirely amygdala
tized (amydulas less than 1/8 inch and
which also has a few scattered felspars
rather 1 to 2 centimeters long. The
dike 1091 is nearly vertical and bears
in general N.55° W. The porphyry, in
50 feet wide and on the gabbro side
(forward)
for a couple of feet along the contact
becomes finely amygdaloidal losing
the porphyritic character. This contact
porphyry is 1090 B and recept for the
normal amydulas is similar to 1090.
The limestone on the west of the
contact is intensely brecciated for a
couple of feet. The and porphyry
is opposite the main body from
which THE dike 1088 was shot off:
The limestones to the east are thick
bedded with strike N.5°-W. dip N.E.
with angular beds, & large masses within the porphyry
about 20°. They are cut by a normal
gallo dikes in the little creek and to the
west of this dikes there is done
with general varied dips varying from
striking N.S. & west dips to strike N.
80° W. and dips N.30 and dipping
N.60° S. These limestones include
massive 3 foot layer of coarse
grounded dark effervescent rock with
obtrusive structure similar to and
apparently the same as 1088, which
appears to rise over the core of porphyry
& this continuous with 1088. This side
is our climb in the TP.
This area of gallo makes a fault of
over 50 feet extending N.12° W.
and quite (1/4 mile or more).
