Coffin Neck (1)
The east shore of Coffin Neck
beginning near N boundary of
S 44-3 is formed of a gray & gray
white rhyolite tuff usually dis-
tinctly fragmental frequently appear-
ing glassy. There is flanked on the
east by a coarse diabase dike
which occurs inside the high
land line & comes to the shore
at the little point north of the
brook in S.W. 34-9.
Tray
To the north of this bed
mass there follow a series of sed-
iments about 100 ft. thick forming
the second or middle point just
west of the letter N in "Nutter Cove"
of these sediments the
lower 50 feet are gray dust-glasses
alternating with blue gray fine
crystalline tuffs & some little
splintery blue shale. These are
followed by 12 feet of ridged
basic tuffs of sandy texture.
These lower 62 feet contain:
Stenosirema (not lacunosa) stump
Dalmanella (coarse) common
Spirifer crispus rare
Actinoptrella "
Orthoceras "
In the twelve feet of coarse
tuffaceous shales occur along
with the Stenosirema a few
specimens of Wilsonia wherin.
