beds included all the Silurians exposed Carlow
on Pleasant Point, search was made to
Island
find out to what extent if any, these
rr.
beds continued southward on Carlow Isl-
cut
and. The lamellibranch beds 3.43.6:A
Notebook 1, page 43) were followed along
the shore; then ensued the wave-marked,
rain-printed and mud-cracked gray shales
calcareous nodular layers, and quartzitic
ic seams with only an occasional lamelli-
branch, until reaching up to the rail-
road cut(the northerly rr/cut containing
shales; this cut includes the letter "l"
in "Carlow" as on the chart, and is just
north of the road running N.75 E to the
house) where some coarse shales are cut
by a rhyolite(?) dike which crops out
in the west side of the rr.cut. On the east
east side of the cut the shales continue
uninterruptedly or nearly so, and con-
tain Leperditia in thin calcareous seams
A Leperditia occurs scattered rarely
thruout the shales, but there are also
several seams of lamellibranchs, with
some Lingula cornea. Some Trimitoids also
also occur as well as Tetradella. The
fossils from this cut are 3.43.6:B
