In the railroad cuts in the
S.W. corner of Pennamquan
Lake occurs a series of
very dark blue-black massive
shales resembling in texture
& color the Quoddy plate
series. No fossils were observed
evidencing very obscure traces.
May have been mineralized
graphites. Strike N 8° E
dip 24° E
About 400 yards west of
the railroad station at Apple
Junction occurs a cut exposing
some gray & dark blue evenly
laminated shales. No fossils.
These shales are better exposed in
the little creek just north of the
railroad where they are seen to
Strike N. 11-15° E, dip East 19-20°
Some more of the shales appear
in another RR cut a couple
of hundred yards S.W. of
the creek. The shale here
contain very rare what app
pears to be C graphite, and
is readily expressive Nephrites-like
Antlers as which places these
shales in the Quoddy series.
