116 Quadrille Ruled Form. Patented 1906. John C. Moore Corporation, Rochester, N. Y. 6.45. 7/7 Second Week South of the Canal on the east shore there occur flanking the trap mass which forms the hill, a series of limestones & overlying shale. The limestones are exposed for a thickness of about 100 ft along the shore & in the hillside below the house of Mr. Van Morton (For strike & dip see map). In this thickness the limestones predominate over the thin black shale partings. The limestone is of a lead gray color, rather con- cretionary or rather centumlar in aspect some of the bands clining in & plunging out. The fossils in these limestones include some Peyrichias & a peculiar furcoid. 6.45. 7 A. Over the limestones to the north occurs a series of exposures of shales of a dark bluish color & characterized by the oc- currence of thin limestone bands (thick or less) frequently at every foot or less. About 290 feet of these shales are exposed here gute evidently belonging with the series of similar shales exposed S. of the North Arctic Ferry wharf. 6.45. 7 The fossils in the shale & thin bands are and include Tetradella clarkoi sp B Leperditia sp.
