Cooper and I again visited Black Point on morning of July 23 to collect more fossils but got very few good ones. The section here in atwhas follows: Beginning E and going W. Volcanic lava flow seen at low tide about 30' thick. Long beach to E shows our arches. Pontanerus Almyrus beds about 35 yards across. Dip 45° N.W. This fossil goes through central 50'. Overlaid Leporiditia Crelaspin etc. See small list of fossils. These volcanic flow making Black Point to heart of which is Dickie Cove with its Dilenian (two grms). Black Point. These brittle l's reminded of ocratalimestone and when they belong is hard to say. Certainly Diluvian and apparently early rather than late. Look this up on Aleredo map. I did and they are the farthest E beds of Black Point. Can these beds be the regularly bedded ones out in Laper- ditia that occur on the eastern limit of the Belle dune Gray section. See beds 2-3-4 of July 20-1929. Aleredo thinks not, but I would place them life in the Clemville rather than elsewhere. And and he has large collections of these black l's.
