5.54.6
Near the southwestern corner of the Cove
west of Dougherty Point occurs a
bottle patch of gray & grayish blue shale
striking N. 36 E. and dipping at a
slight angle about 24° to the East.
Slight splintering is well developed,
thc cleavage being N.50°E. Fossils
were here, they are distorted & difficult
of extraction but the fauna
5.54.6A show.

Lingula sp occasional
Valmanella "
Steroscisma pulchra common
Pellmannella danbyi rare
(or a large actinopora)
Crinoid joints occasional
Following up down Straight Bay along
the west shore of Dougherty Point we
find dark greenish shale, baked.
The strike indistinct but apparently
N. 40°W. These shale are too much
sweared to contain determinable
fossils, but a crinoid joint was recog-
nized. As the little brook occurs,
a thin gabbro sill trending N.55°W and
north of the brook occurs a thick
series of massive shales containing
large feldspar phenocrysts and
some fossils which show ( 5. 54.6 B)
Chonetes cornuta common
Delmanella sp occasional
Spirifer crispus (minute) rare
Normotoma sp occasional
