"Aug 22 1964 Dr 13E The Green Tree Falls Dyke" 1 About 100 yards above the lowest cascade and at Bar. 645'. This dyke crosses the upper strata nearly S and is in a N W to S & E direction. There as a deep and long narrow hole of water on the grove when dyke crosses and at the surface of the water on the north side of the dyke go about 10 thick mints or Sand, it is deeper than 5 ft. The dyke plunges from so it gets higher and is about 4' above the water & disappears entirely. The material of the dyke (?) the characteristic of this by a clean light grey or nearly pure white rock with an abundance of fine mica specks and look of shale stink with it. 106E Dyke [sketch] Water level Above is a sketch of dyke on S side I gave as it appears from private note about 1/2 along the dam, which is broken up into blocks at what from 4' to 2' apart. Aug 23 - 1964 Geno 3d Just below the cap right (th) 12 left of the falls at Saldiville, is a 5" light gray shale containing bands of pink & orange from these I collected few specimens: Pyrochlophite, ? pyroxene, ? Deij Somophote, ? (?) Bar. 470's. (skips several lines) Geno 3d: At Bar 50' in the bed stream and about 20 yds above record cascades Caprol with it above Salma Creek via dyke. Crossing the stream again with the N, S & E & SE. This dyke is made up of two great dykes with minute distance apart. The greater dyke are neither of them continuous, they are 5' apx., the one on the west dyke continues or might, say, of a stream a fraction of an mile thick to perhaps and 720 ft is depth and maybe on the middle. The dyke 12' from north end this 6" thick from this on for 15 feet it has been eroded away leaving a crack in the rock which is filled with gravel and sand. All of the dyke is covered. " & The east dyke starts about 12' south of north I next dyke with its thickness on razor edge and gets thicker northward until where it becomes rounded 15' north to 4 1/2" thick. To come a sketch drawing of water and dykes. These dykes occur in the valley side and one of them (6) extends into the rocky sh immediately above."
