7080 Perce, Quebec, August 10-1929. Saturday A middle called to show me a few more Richimmel fossils from another locality he said were in the lower beds. Had several Platystrophia, Otospha marginalis, Catazgya antiquiorans and other minute material. All poor material. Then Biard provided us with a tozand a new boat to take us to the Grand Coupee. A very quiet sea. As we rounded Cape Barne we see no evidence of the fault line here by Clarke separating the Barne beds from the Perce-Oriolany. There is here a sheer gone now nearly all fallen away, and it should be in the large Oriolany. Later, it occurred to me that the fault is laid some 500 yards or so more inland along its course. The face of the Three Testes maybe all Oriolany in very critical but highly crumpled thin-bedded material, = Perceuls. The low hill south of the Pic d'Aurore appears to be all sandstone in critical beds. At the top begins the Bonarenture descending to the north and filling an old valley. There s Pic d' Aurore ss sperric kens then must the basal, 200 yds or tar Sea level can split them Bonarenture 300-400yds. Mt. Hill = steel blue grime Grand Coupee Richmond red and pink About 1/3 mile north of Coupee stands red oreathing beds of interbedded gnes of sandstone or fine Congl, seldom seen-cracked shales and gnes of nodular kumps. It is in a cruddy tone. It stands from about 450 to near critical and all dips
