and after a covered gap 5D just frod, the south-west slope of this n.E. sooth of Long Cove is near 60 formed by the upper surface of some dark gray sandstones, the line of strike coinciding with the shore: About 10 feet of these sandstones are exposed in a ledge dipping 36\deg, N.55\deg E. The rock is a massive coarse grained dark gray sand- stone with hardly discernible beddingplanes but breaking into large splintery slabs one foot to 4 feet long and several bundles thick these splinters are elongated somewhat in the di- drection of the dip. There are several calcareous seams or large lumps in places over an inch thick and composed of a mass of shells. The fauna 5:2.9a is an exceedingly interesting and rich one including Rhynchonella (amarofoechig) 30+Y spp.ND. Homospira AN.D. Spirifer ?crispus rare. "Delthyris of elevatus Chonetes? denysii abundant -Grammysia cingulata ores modiolopsis 2 or3 spp. " Actinoptarella.4 to5 spp very common Heronitella retrotecta qus. -Herinea danbyi rare. Nuculites Tentaculites common Cornulites ? Conchifoles Orthoceras ludense rare (not collected) Cyclonema seca murichonia Koriostoma rare Monotrypa (small newns) Striatopera + occasional Crinoid stems Narrow branching treoids "Rothophic" )rare Calymene common After a covered gap about 12 feet wide these appear 4 feet of gray massive sand- stone similar to 5:2.9a and striking N.33\deg W.: dip 35\deg W.50\deg E. Fauna confined to the above but very abundant in these. Dalmanella is the most abud. and in me seam Rhynchonella not seen with below Chonetales common in both.Fauna 5:2.9 B. Several other species also containing occasional Grammysia cingulata Heronitella retrotecta & Actinoptarella bardeae Concellibarnela. 5:2.9 B immediately overlies 5:2.9c which includes 8/2 feet of splintery, fine grained sand- stone and limestone which contains presently the same fauna as 5:2.9 B, chiefly Dalmanella, Rhynch- onella and Chonetes. Below 5:2.9 C there is a covered strip of beach about 18 feet wide then there outcrop 18 miles of dark purplish rhyolitic sandstone=11\deg B which contains a rare Chonetes denysii (not collected) and a Dalmanella=5:2.9 D. Below 11\deg B-5:2.9 D is 3 feet of greenish gray fine grained treme- natured and very covered specimens 11\deg T. Next below are 4 feet of light purple massive rhyolite mills having an argillaceous pel texture. There are no bedding planes in fossils there are abundant spotted spots, and in weathering there are eaten out cavities 1/2 to 1/mq thick. The rock is 11\deg B. 67
