Perce, Quebec, Sunday August 11-1929
A dull Sunday with light rains, fast successione.
Corfu and I went to lipomen in the Old Redstone Catholic church of Perce. The Church maybe the most beautiful in all Quebec outside of Quebec City.
After dinner Corfu and I discussed the sequence here and than the profile structures. In regard to the latter are for certainty.
The succession as far as it was follows:
Bonaventure overlies a proto-Devonian graph tippography, and acrim are the formations here. Total thickness have been said up 200 of tub. Unconformable to our older archs.
Late Devonian argyle.
In 1930 I made two surfaces
Middle Devonian old red sandstone @ Gray = Pic d'Aure
Late Zorn Devonian Perce limestone
In 1930 = 2 surfaces
{Crisis}
Devonian Pic d'Aure sandstone, shale and siltstone
Cape Bare'ss and sh
Ant. foli series - Heelutayian
New Great, Or Silurian lie.
Cape Blanc ls and sh = Richmondian
Cape Canon ls and sh = ? Richmondian. If the last two formations are in succession the rid must be at least 100 of feet thick, but the formal sequence is not established. If the Cape Gygza beds are the older, than beneath them is a great thickness of shale. (In 1930 te Ogolmann has an older, thin blue sh, Cate siltstone)
