St. John, Wednesday July 30-1913
On deeply there we saw contact of the
Paradoxides beds of the Acadian against the
Etchemenian. The prints are in the shales
terminated by their gneiss quartzite. All
of these beds are conformable and stand vertical.
They are of the Acadian series. Then follow
more shales without prints although a Paro-
lenus is said to have been found here. That
there has a heath in there but at this print
we does not see one. These are his Etche-
momenian beds,
In the Park we saw contact between
the Etchemenian and Celdhoridian. The former
terminates in red conglomerate with large quartz
pebbles up to 2 inches across. This conglomerate
rests on older effusive type red shales that
the petrographers determine as a volcanic
rock. It might be an ark bed but is thought
rather like a weathered volcanic rock. There
is considerable marble in this Celdhoridian
