Jacquet Rivu, July 14, 1929 (continued) Then drove north to Turgeon P.Q. and on the sea shore to the north of the cemetery one sees muddy sandstone dipping about 20° N.W. and then rising to about 40°. Then a core to the north with Bonaventure that at the north end flints rules the Turgeon boulders in the Turgeon crag, and the igneous boulders up to fifty acres. Part- alley three-quarters of it is igneous boulders, the rest is of diluvian limestone, jasper, quartz, etc. Of fruits for Shmatipora, Farreze 2013 species, small alfrido, small Gephyrites, Leftaera rhomboidal, Del- cranella Meyantula, de. Also saw two large angular flints 12 and 18 inches across of the diluvian limestone (>60ft ces) These have some true sharp distance derethly This crag is folded like the rest of the diluvian. To me the diluvian is underlain by the Turgeon crag, and it is clear not basal Diluvian as far as for it. It probably makes the base of the Lower devonian. Its upper probably underlain by the Bona- aventure crag., a different folding crag though made of of the same kinds of rocks but in different quantities with more long jasper. The Bonaventure is undisturbed. The Bonaventure is not so consolidated and has far more lime in it, and pieces of the Devonian sandstone.
