Federal Harbor
On the south side of Federal Harbor near the west end,
along the shore on both sides of the outlet of Mr. Dickey's lagoon
in northern G.V.I.A and just over the lake into
G.V.I.5 a lens seems of gray sand tuff, fine grained &
chervely last well obliterated, immediately the Silvers
Cove glassies. The strikes along the shore from
N.25-27° W. and dip 35-42° N.E. The tuffs are very fine
siliceous containing many small shells of siliceous
remains. Specimens of Eucyathina decua is very common.
the remains of large Porifera sp, Lymella cunabula occur
as a trace of 664 "Opisthobranch tuffs" of Silvers Cove
& forming tube. The fauna in G.V.I.5 A and includes
Camarotoechia abundant
Gonorettes derjysi, common
Cyclocoma aluandant
Actinoptercella rare
Palmappeila rare
Pyrophisonia rare
Naryschonia rare
Terraculites rare
Crinoid ??
common
The specimens of the brachiopods distributed with
the Camalitocheica gastropods which seem to
occur in Silvers Cove, interestingly enough at a depth
a few yards below of Mr. Dickey's where the
Peglet's tuffs, are and by a very dark lens 25 ft. thick
which appears to be a stratigraphic on a large galbino near
the galbino which parallels the shore on a little point
west of the W. end.
6/41.5
Just to the east part of this
galbinos gneiss in the S.E corner of the SW quarter of
G.V.I.5 occurs in the west a couple of yards of slightly
bluish tuffs overlain by gray bluish-gray olivite
beds, N.12° W and dipping 35° N.E.. The strata here
occur several feet thick & very well developed.
the fauna is ?
? (gray water) with small shells & calcareous mass
& dark forming the 60 foot sill W of S of the latter
F in Federal Harbor.
Intercalated in the mass of galbino ruff
36 feet long beds sandy shales striking N.25°W and dipping
w.s.e. These occur on the west side of this point S.W. of
the 800 F in Federal Harbor, and contain (G.V.I.516)
Orbiculidae ?
camarotoechia common
Palmappeila (Eucyathina sp.) abundant
Actinoptercella uncommon
Cypicardium platyphylla one example
Pyrophisonia rare
Cyclonoma
Black Head
23 the base of Black Head on the west side
seems coarse gray bedded tuffs striking N.35° W and
dipping N.70° S.E. The top they become fassation
and grade up into effect of white thick gray
pulverized slates which lie in turn northern
by a couple of feet of tuffifer, these places the
slates. The loose lichen covered tuffs immediately
underlying contain & red faunas with gings 6V25
Camarotoechia (Eup) abundant
Gonorettes derjysi common
Palmappeila rare
Actinoptercella rare
Cyclocoma (P. Siliceous core) abundant.
Pyrophisonia rare
Cylonea common
Balanusites magnoval
Actinoptercella
Just beneath the galbino the strike is
N.47° W and dip 45° N.E.
North of the forest occurs on the lower side
of Black Head the tuffs disappear some striking
W. 30° W. and dipping 50° NE. They are dark gray
& red, and under 2125° and much layered &
grey the latter extremely amygdaloidal or
pyroclastic.
The beds and coarse plates of G.V.I.A (N.3
P) is exposed in old road side of Federal Hare
Peglet's rock struck but I believe core copy
of these shots as probably probable the thick 2
