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

I am now convinced that all the strata from Belle Ounce

sometimes decidedly dr. Some of the shale layers are much cracked and
some SS surfaces other filling up into them. The conglomerate are cemented
