Sep 1 - 1929 continued.
Farther east are Ordovician shales south of the Orallet. Then to the west comes the Orallet north of the Bellman town. Then the Bellman town over the Trenton shales. Finally the Trenton & maybe overthrusted on the ? Trenton ls.

Passed somewhat rapidly over division A that on the shore of Missisquoi Bay rests upon the Trenton shale. The same is all crngls and drf in thick not bedded beds and practically without joints. Logan reports a poor Pleuroto- maria and a Holopea. See Logan in Berl, J Canada 1863 pgs. 275 - 279, and again p. 844. Mac Gangle has also found two fossils which refers the beds to the Ogardian.
Thickness 700 according to Logan. The Ogardian is thinner here and overlaid more than at Middleburg - via same from Matt on top of it, in the Gangles A 30 feet or less on the crngls with drf, plus other of the same age and thickness of the Olden beds in angular pieces sometimes in length. Evidently the sea bottom was in motion producing ridges from which the strata tore pieces and laid them in the dolomite mudling area. Dr. Clark
