"speciatas" and "cabite" revised but the
fault is apparently slight as similar
shales and fossils are found upon both the
north and south sides. The south side appears
[illegible] apparently only 50 feet apart and
appears to date at all later Lpa, only 10°-15°
(consistently dipping east, north, southwest?)
The fossils of S.15. B are of interest as
being a reoccurrence at a lower horizon (???)
same horizon repeated by fault ???) of the
geostroph zone of the upper beds of Selborne
Cove.
"Platystrima"
macrourus (same as at Selborne Cove) common
common
Diorbis
large lamellibrancha orea.
Strike N. 45° W, dip 12° W.E.
The Bellerglams & Jurshelones found in
Selborne Cove have not been observed.
Below S.15. B are 4 feet of indurated
light gray, fine grained argillaceous cal-
cite tuffa overlying.
S.15.C. 2 feet of coarse gray sandy
slate breaking with splintery large shingle
(concentrated sanding zone) and leaving
same Platystrima as in B.
Below S.15.C are 2 feet of light greenish
gray, argolitic dust tuffs, splintery and
without bedding; and under this there are
2 feet of massive, rounded dark blue
glassy argolitic tuffa Strike N. 45° W Dip
14° W.E.
The tuffa underlying S.15.C also in
another fault plane extending east and
west. On the south side of this fault appear
some blue splintery shales, S.15.D, strike-
nup N. 5° E. and dipping west at an angle
of 20°. They contain large lamellibrancha
and Platystrima = S.15.D.
Blue patch of slate is small, only 2
S.15.E
couple of rods long and is limited in the
south by a little fault which bears N. 53° W.
and throws up some coarse grained (green-
tone) tuffa = S.15.F. The shales next this
fault are S.15.D. Platystrima and large
lamellibrancha found resembling calo-
silicates & generally S.3-8 C at Selborne
Cove.
1161 is a feldspathic very coarse
grained tuffa but without clombs (?)
of any sort, 5 ft thick; and
is underlain by a thick series of light
greenish gray, fine grained tuffa in thick
strata, occasionally banded and some-
times with 1 inch seams of amygd-
oidal felsporite, or, if, well seams
of feldspathic coarse grained tuffa.
Calcispermulosus and thin laminar
seams fragment. Strike N. 40° W. Dip
20° N. 50° E. Specimens 1162, 1163.
Thursday, Aug. 15, '07. Fine grained tuffa continues (without
faults) to the point in this cut. On the
point the thick lydite flags strike east and
north and dip 15° to the N. On the
west side of the point there are con-
spicuous off shore like blocks of
sandstone, sandstone tuffa, and glassy
rhyolitic flags ranging parallel tilted
slate and extending out for 100 yds.
or more. 175 yds north of west of the
Point, the innermost bed is fossil
bearing, though very poorly so. The sandstone
strikes N. 60° W., dips 18° N. 20° E. breaks
into large massive splinters (of deep
Cove and S.15.C.-) repetition of S.15-C fault?)
and contains (S.18 & B.)
schisma
Platystrima (rare)
Lago Mediolagus (flangusta) occasional
