"August 12 continued" Twr decided syncline with the SS again running to the south this usual dip, then Further S the dip steepens to 60°E and the strike at N, and S in the same direction there soon appears a little fault but the throw is very small. This is about like this This dip from steepens to 20° to the S. Faults? The dip goes This is probably Goldring's fault, but it is not of importance. And the SS are decidedly arkosic and granite pebbles occur as large as one inch across on the surface of the bedding planes. The second point S of Red Head or the next one S of Chian Blanca is made of a truldu conglomer, 15-20 feet thick, and is confined able to be so far north. This truldu bed is like those of Point Point and Belle Ounce. The dip here is about 20°. Folding adds it to. To the S and E the shore is now very straight about 1/3 mile to Whole Head, made of the same kind of green SS where another conglomerate or more. little formation appears. The dips all along here is about 20°. I am now convinced that all the strata from Belle Ounce around Point Peter to Chian Blanca are Susquehannock Sandstones and Pailkypton material is not rare. The sandstones are an olive been green with thin beds of a finer makes thicker than have pebbles 1/2 naturally and SS. When these SS are red this coloring is due to oxid iron from above. The SS are often current rippled, and more or less firm bedded and sometimes decidedly dr. Some of the shale layers are much cracked and some SS surfaces other filling up into them. The conglomerate are cemented
