Sagatech, Monday August 26 1939 It began raining hard at 7 A.M. and the day looked lost, fully 8 o'clock it cleared up so that the day promised to have of showers, but it rained on us no more. We started south at 9 A.M. We first examined a little cut on the R.R. about 1 3/4 miles south of Pal Brilliant and found the same fossils are present in the layers cut 3/4 mile further south. The few fossils are better here and especially the hygroza but the species are the same. Shale stand at a high angle and dip N. At the south end is a fault apparently a small one like this. We then studied the big cut 2 1/2 miles S of Pal Brilliant. At the south end are thin and thick bedded ss with some sandy sh, all are much folded and obscured. To the N follow a long series of cleared sh and then come to cross bedded series of lining ss with an occasional arenaceous ls carrying the fossils. All of the beds are obscured and faulted, but I do not think much is cut out at one place. It looks more like accommodation movement on a syncline. The whole is done limit since here is no repetition of the beds. After lunch, at Pal Brilliant, we went south to the road up towards Arthur's Quarrel Cut and once came to the first Silurian quartzite seen yesterday are surveyed to begin and since the Devonian ls come into the N when Old.
