Matapedia, July 29-1929. Monday. Started out at 8 A.M. with Cope and Crickmay To see the remainder of the fossil bearing rocks he had discovered. The Matapedia series well exposed all about Matapedia consist of dark blue consolidated sl and alternations of the same sl with thin rounded ls and some thick seams of quartzites. In the sl at 5 ½ miles up the Restigouche river from Matapedia on the New Brunswick side beside the road are high exposures of these sl that are constantly breaching down. Here finds occur but extremely rarely. One for now Cyclospina tricaudata, the platella of Pomo flexilis, a large Cystroneas, and Atronsaw Bruthrophis. This then proves the superiority of Matam time and to equal the Tetragouche series of the Battourist shut. These ls are a dense conchidally featuring oral and about earrid free life. One sees not a trace of organisms other than an occasional Bruthrophis. It has generally been supposed that these strata must be Diluvian because of their proximity to the lower Devonian. The lithology is also far more that of the Ordovician than the Diluvian. The Matapedia series is said to continue up probably the Matapedia river. For continuation see page to left.
