Quadrille Ruled Form. Patented 1906. John C. Moore Corporation, Rochester, N. Y.
June 13, 1907.
Shales may be observed along the south
west shore of the island striking N.55
east and dipping 23 degrees N.W. Just
north of a little trap dike which cuts
the gray shales and occasional quartz-
itic bands that make up the sediments
of the island occur some seams of Mod-
iolonsoid lamellibranchs and Lingula
cornea. These fossils are 3/43.6:A.
The shaly beds of the southwestern
part of Carlow Island are abundantly
wave- and ripple-marked, and rain
prints are very common.
A diabase porphyry dike cuts across
the sediments and shows good contact
variations. 1033 is the normal por-
phyry four feet from the contact. 1074
is the contact phase, a foot from the
contact.
Just above this diabase porphyry
dike occur shales containing both sun-
shrinkage cracks and rain prints on
the same surface.
Some shales occur in a little
railroad cut near the south end of the
island, and contain the same lamell-
branchs (not collected) as 3.43.6:A.
(This cut should not be confused with
the fossiliferous rr.cut near the cen-
tre of the island, containing 3.43.6.B
