46 A pebble like concretion in the stone contains a Dalmanella & Cameroceras = 6.52: P A ? On the west side of the Bay including the steepest well of the section which gives a type of only laminated thin bedded shale of a light lead grey color, similar to other ones in the same group but between just a couple hundred yards south of the latter, the strike runs aways around from N 4° E dip 37° E, through N. 5° W (dip 52°), through N. 30° W (dip 24° N E) to N. 46° W dip 25° N E. At the south end of the one containing the interior the beds as well as a trap like body extending N. 60° E. South of the cliff they are cut by another dike trending N 70° E, and the north part of the bay is formed of trap, the south margin trending about N 85° E. The upper part of the beds in the core just north of the noted grade into dark to nearly black which is the color of the shale, continues to spread. On the point at the N. E end of the core three blue slates appear forming the top in the west exposed layers below high tide. The shales take strike N S dip 20° E. badly containing some spe- cimens of Spirifer dawsonicus = 6.52: A just south of it, the little core striking northwesterly dips [6.52: interval 6], dark blue very firm from the ocean, the fossil resembling a lemniscus, Valentinus etc. strikes N 15° W dip 35° E. fauna = 6.52: B Spirifer dawsonicus ? cyclyptus above ? clavatus ocea Chonites costatus Yerkania wins Dalmanella the Orbiculoidea peats glyptoderas (?)
