"New Richmond, Tuesday July 30-1929 Left Matapedia at 8:15 A.M. going E along N shore of B. T. Channel. Shortly west of Oatway we saw Devonian pebble and brindle engl. along the road side. It had a strong dip to the S-E. General goes in a coarse sandstone. One miles east the same Devon Engl. as exposed along the road side. Black Crape Section. Coelospira hemispherica, Chmites etc occur in lawn part of section. Dip about 60° S-E. Shortly above came in Stricklandinia gaspiciens and they detained layer size trends to top. Are estimated that they ranged through 150 feet. With them occurred an occasional small Palaeocyclos, Clorinda and many corals. Then followed strata 100' thick at the top of which occur large Palaeocyclos, Rafinesquina, Leptaena and by Rhypidomella. 150' Apparently all of the lawn if any 1926 Japan went/Out should go into Oatmville. At several places in this thickener we saw the Crust (sp) The next 70 I did not make what forms occur here. Then comes the Stricklandinia gone 150' thick and the series terminates with large Palaeocyclos. The arndular layers = La Villed cause about 200 there- [illegible] cued far east of prominent modern's headland, around which we can not get at any certainty. Continuing west by auto road.
