Frog 2 Tolfts purple slate Fault N— Broad Cove, Monday, Aug. 26, '07. Laciflorpus slates, [illegible] The perliferous slate series of ward Broad Cove notion follows was around the broad gneiss-gran intruding down into 6,558 and then to abut in a fault plane as shales against a series of purple & green tuffal content ash beds, and including a few bits of purple shale. The fault plane strikes approx. N. 80° E. and is somewhat simoonous. In the east 1/2 the fault plane is occupied by a blue-gray rhyolite dike, near where the perliferous older slate Broad Cove series yielded some good ostracoda and small branches and a few of the hummocky-like gastrol sed = 6,558 ft. On the west the purple tuffs bear on about 1/2 of feldspar phenocrystic glass; a species as 1178 Broad Cove no feet fields below B. coveless, the red slate as the only rocks cropping and there. It is hardly possible to tell the supposition that they are replaced entirely in with a short distance & slakes, and it appears greatly probable that some faulting greatly disturbed some clasts in the southwestern of the supposed intrusion passage from the red shales into the conglomerats of the typical Perry series. How ever the red shales do occur intercalated with the constrictures and conglomerates in the railroad cuts, and the red slakes only, the newly cropping out below the railroad at Table Flats. Smith road of Table River some 3 miles gulps a quarter mile time more red slakes crops out, attaining along the railroad attaining quite a thickness. Some normal fluvial cloubers an quite common base = 2,249 A, but no other faults seems, 2,249 2,31.4 Pembroke purple shales, Tuesday Aug. 27, '07. 3 As the dam isolates the pot office in Pembroke are ce pursued in the S.E. side of the cove about 25 feet of limestone striking N. 38° W. dipping 27° E. N. 60° E. these rocks are dark purple shales with generally no discernible folding and volcanism vertical in the normal manner. A large crusts of light grit shale another & granules tuff that slates with mud couch, was included with the Pembroke purple shales. Only fossil observed was a little Lingula which is not rare. It is greatly disturbed in various directions disregarding the position of the different specimens of in slanting out the direction of splitting. (Not selected) The shales continue up into the clump led along the cut bank in the Bunnarogman Town just past the W.T. section the thickness of the till being greater. Accompanying them the shale continues above the top of the hill inside the nearby granite slate there is also a little bit of black purp nearly black shale, and a little sort gray slate. At upper down at the north end of the village I think more of the assumed purple tuffs = 20- good base striking N. 38° W. and dipping about 20° N. 65° E. strikes a new Lingula (small) red shales to) [illegible] splitting or moving. The public is the stream I only see the red purples red shales as a very few red-bed like nothing across the edge of the cut this at a very low angle. At the river mode opposite the claypit prolongs the red slakes strikes N. 26° W. and dips at an angles of 25° N. E west of the Conway region, the purple shales strike N. 25° W. and dip at an angle of 38° N. 60° E. These red shales as here seem to be several purplish tuffs occur in places. Specimen 1179. To the south of the cut a little, also some smaller shales has resulted the normal gneiss very splitting slate. Striking N. 25° W. dipping 38° N.
