Thursday, Aug. 29. 07. 4 231/1 came down the west side of the east branch of the Pennamoygan at Penkirk village, a long outcrop of purple shale occurs in the S.W. corner of 231/7. The outcrop strikes N. 20° W., dips 45°, and on an angle of 18° they are much splintered, the splinters so trending N. 55° E. A couple of feet of grey limestone with purple sandstone and sandy shale are included. Passing along 100 yards, southwest of this point (231), the strike swung around about 25°, country slopings to N. 48° W., dip the course 18°. Found in the purple shale as extremely nice including beds for specimens of the distributed fauna = 237 A; a specimen of the grey limestone in 1150. The shale necessarily contains accumulations with large shells (specimens) set off reports and affogating gashes. 20 ft under, 180 to the west and sandy shales striking N. 40° W. and a grey sand at an angle of 26°. These shales contain bed rock fragments and slate appears to be separated from generally fauna = 241/1 B. The purple shales continue in this way, as in 237 A, the shale is dug down in 241/1 where there appears both sides of the ring, a case of the granites stuff on either side of falls that the rock in the usual broken light ash-grey joined off with an abundance of feldspar (plagioclase) as if left to a depth of as well thick we shall care, and also pieces of slate (mugger), and slate (generally rounded). The rock is massive without the slightest trace of bedding, the strike is rather the approximate northern boundary, bearing about N. 40° W. Specimens are 1181, and this latter presenting the aspect much shattered surfaces within the rock, especially the feldspar is darker. The granite and red, separate itself, it with horizontally including beds about 150 ft. It makes apparently the base of the sand purple shales serve as no purple shales rocks below the large my exposure of over 100 feet of this grey splintered shale apparently the same bed as there is about this B; A's uncovered place. The shale, lay out in dry road and in the forest river bank, and strikes N. 49° W. dipping N. 70° E., at an angle of 15° through occur in shales and include Archimedes small fossils, if extreme 15°-30° 241/1 A 241/1 B 1181 1182 241/1 C The farm is in 2. 41/1 C and is located from the upper 50 feet, about 1 to 15 feet below the granite bed stuff near a plain limestone seam of the same kind of granites stuff, stretching from 2 miles down to north. A specimen mining as numerous interbedded with the shale in 1/83. Some calcareous (limestone) occur, but no found as there are generally too poorly served to recognizable. 2. 41/1 C includes a few seams of fossils as occurring along the edge about 125 yards S. of B; 2. 41/1 C (complete thickness below 2. 41/1 at my dip of 18°.) About 125 feet still further south of 2. 41/1 C, the projecting line from the ridge striking N. 57° W. and dipping N. 36° E., at an angle of 17°, and contains a large lands (sand (common) and field (Pennamoygan (far)) = 2. 41/1 C 2. 41/1 A 2. 41/1 B (2. 41/1 B) There are two different A's.
