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.

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.
