5 to 70 degrees
Pazatec lies about one mile to the north of Lake
Mataedia and is a flat land not much elevated above
the lake. It is all undulating by the Diluvian ls lying at
low angles, mostly averaging five degrees.
He then crossed south of the Catholic church of Ja-
goteed about 3 miles and collected in the Diluvian l's
quarries here for the Catholic churches. About ten feet is
exposed, a dark blue, sandy, friable and banded ls, this
may lie very near the white quartzite. He got about
all the sections seen in the walls of the Causapsical church.
The church at Angqui is partly of the quartzite and the other
of Val Brilliante and Pazatec all of the Diluvian l's.
If we are ever able to learn what relation the Dil.
bears structurally to the Ortho Camen Onts, maybe they join
underneath the Devonian? Nor have we learned the
thickness of the Dil. other than that the quartzite is said to be
60' thick.
In the quarry are seen or trace a Heldutepian
fauna: thus Bailey reported Shifter-denta varistriata,
O. tecki ? and Peristella.
We have not yet seen the quarries in the ls situated by
the Intercolonial R.R., unless they be the ones seen to day (Bailey says 6 miles N of Val Brilliante which would at once make it other one or here today).
