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

Between 6.52: B & 6.52: A there occurs in
the shore a trap of exceedingly amygdaloidal
trap and similar trap occurs in a rock-shelf
near Mr. Ramsdell's house bearing 'Lent N 15° W
strike' faunas = possibly that the shells

Scrub Island
On the southwest end of Scrub Island on
the N E side of the island there occurs parted out
in clay green tuffs a good couple feet of dark
green siliceous slates which give a means of
fossiliferousness causing the many characters of

Spirifera, etc. fauna = 6.52: A
Cameroceras occurring very poorly preserved
? Orthonotella ? abundant
? Actinopelta

Only about on line a a half were spent here collecting
with others continually turning up which has not been to
serve before we couldly went past it. of collectors can
try to light many more species.
