Sagabeck, Sunday, August 25 1929
A fine bright day and we are off at 8.30 A.M.
At about 1 1/2 miles N. of Val Brilliant one comes to fields to
the shore of Lake Oraphedria. Here the Lulurian quartzites are exposed
dipping at about 10° N.W. About 1/2 mile N. of Val Brilliant [illegible] beds
changed to N 57° E, but farther S again over as usual N.W. We
traced it all the way to in front of the saw mill and the R.R.
station. Saw no fossils, rarest nippled bit in one place cross-
budded bit near gravel of or. Toronto, the S the plain over main
course. South of Val Brilliant one could discern no further
on the lake shore,
extends, but 1/2 miles south one could look across to the shore
of an island during Albert's highland series (an adnate emph.).
In all this distance the Lulurian is not fully involved in the
fields of the Orthodome Outcrops that stand high to the SW of Val Brid.
South of Val Brilliant about 1 1/2 mile we trot a W road up
toward the Old P. out, and soon on the south side of road one came
upon the Lul. quartzite dipping at about 85° N.E., Here the Lil. is
clearly involved in the fields.
A little farther W on same road in a tract to study dipping
flyschmuds
rocks (ls) furnished a few small fossils among which is an Ordo-
aria suggesting Devonian here. There must be a fault has
angry side at least 600 feet thick across the whole Lulurian.
We then returned to Val Brilliant for dinner (Chateau
F.B.) and later went N. to a masters gray sand and after a
time came upon a ls conglomerate along the road. It dips 15° N.W.
and in 2 1/5 sands across to another gray a thickness of about
