The trap continues westward a
round Blament Point, and on the
point S.W. of the latter C in Clement
olivites beautiful columnar
structure in a cliff rock 100
yds. long. The columns are about
a foot thick and not quite
vertical being inclined toward
N.20 deg W. or essentially, beyond
similar to a series of S70 deg N- striking
to cementate protile buried color.
S.75 deg N is the strike of the last beds
seen to the east. This columnar
trap is 1121
The stratified tuffs reappear
in the little clearing west of
the latter C in Blament Point,
and show the west end of Oak Hill.
They are overlain by traps which form
Blament Kilt or Oak Hill. In the trap
generically lower in northern
2.55.4 the trap 110 overlaying the tuffs
forms the precipitous south shore, while
the S.E., east and northern shores of
the cove are fringed by red gray
striped beds immediately below which is
stratified flyslate represented by the upper
contour on the chart. On the
north side of the cove the trap +
tuff cliff appears to resemble a
fault scar-pink-gray shales on
the side are schistoid and
massively lacculated having lost
their bedding planes, though they
are not appreciably folded if as
seems quite like is a fault line has
the fault's leave N. 30 deg W: E.15S.
In the southeast corner
appears about 2 feet of
red beds overlying
gray beds of limestone
elevatures burlyps, so feet.
The normal strike as
represented by the red
beds' outlying gray
beds is N. 30 deg W. with
a dip N. 52 deg E. & strike 15 degrees.
The red beds consist of fractures of
naturalized shales 2
