George River, Cape Breton. Friday July 25 - 1913. The first cut to the north of George River station and green shale at the eastern end of the cut shows red sandy micaceous shales and sandstones in close and crumpled fold. Fine Jubler (?) Lingulella about 3/8 inch long. This is at the base of the Cambrian adjacent to the Ordovician. Overlying these Middle Cambrian crumpled folds here with a decided unconformity occurs limestone in thin beds of the Brindon series. [illegible] In a small quarry beside the sea one has a good view of the contact. Below the highly deformed red Middle Cambrian shales and sandstones and above the Brindon limestone dipping at about 30 degrees away from the level bearing towards the area of deposition. Lingulella, Hyolithes and Helicoplites occur here
