Jacquet River, Tuesday July 16, 1929 It was nine A.M. when Dr. [illegible] arrived. He then took us east three miles and then south to the International R.R. at Culligan Station. We then walked east about one mile to the outcrops of Stricklandinia tuffs of La Vielle. There are one large shale and a coal. There are small quartz veins inside the tuff in the Stricklandinia zone. About 85 to 100 yards east are beds with the Steffrochetus like algonids that were seen on Sunday in the Tufjen cycle. La Vielle is as here as at Mrs. Port Daniel and transitions into a transition zone - alternating of ls and red brecciated shales. Then comes the 'Basen' premist ss that weathered, trails are scarce, and here one sees more of lended tracks, not if the Taconites or common at Port Daniel Drift. The 'Basen' is here much thinner than on the north side. Further east and lying directly on the 'Basen' sh are the Tufjen cycle. Saw one small cup coal in it. In the afternoon went back to Belle Dame River and then south to the International Railway. Walked over about 1/2 mile to the cuts in conglomeratic sandstones interbedded with joints of what may be tuffs or ark beds. In the paste of the cycle, got a number of poor casts of forms and of which appear to indicate did Christians or even early Ordovician, but
