Causapsocal, Quebec, Wednesday Aug 21-29 Last night Crickmay showed me some fossils out of the Matapedia formation on the farm near the bridge on the Matapedia river near Causapsocal, as I thought I saw a small Alcyta marginalis and as this fauna is very different from the one found on July 29 on the Resti broche, I decided to walk back to Matapedia. Arrived there at noon and remained collected here for four hours. The crystalline hills are very limited and we got nothing more than Crickmay haul. Corkran found one of the detatable shells The Matapedia formation goes up the river for 70 or 80 miles when fine grained muds ss appear and it then continues along with sandy sh to within 7 miles of Causapsocal. We found our fossils in place, no has Crickmay but in a small boring pit in a very weak shale at the side of the road, or for a large Diamonites tail and an abundance of Lep. Helellites, etc. In a large quarry in the ss at about 6 miles south of Causapsocal Corkran found a loose orthocerid shell with a large Spirifer having the fold and suture visible. These fossils show that the ss-sh series is Devonian. If there is no repetition or faulting Crickmay says the series is about 14,000 feet thick. This is unbelievable.
