The long ridge trending N.W.
from 1.55/1 into 1.4/5 is composed
in part of a thick mass
of highly amygdaloidal trap
with the augddules commonly
concentrated into bunches.
Southeast of the road the
trap exhibit well marked
flow breccia structure.
Over this trap (to the N.E.)
and separated from it by
a valley like depression 75-
100 yards wide is a gray
playdate porphyry tuff which
may be followed from the
Pembroke-Dempsville road S.E.
to the Penamaguen river near
Small's Island.
The interval between the
porphyry tuff & the amygdal-
oridal trap shows exposures
only in 1.55/1 A where S.E. of
the road the rock is a very
massive basic tuff with residual
pumice fragments while N.W. of
the road the basic materials
show sluire bedding into gray
shales. These gray shaly-basic tufts
contain fossils =
Platyschisma common

Stenoscisma sp. occasional (w/o with gastri).
