Of the Bolton Syncline series
The pillows here always have their outlines;
The lower side is always flat,
And the curved side up.
These lavas must have been deposited in the
sea. Clark thinks originally it was a plain and
that the crystalline nature was later induced by
Aeolian agency.
Here I saw the basal Silurian conglomerate resting on the
coral, and about 100 feet higher occurs the
fossil gorge. This place is about four miles south
of Knowltons Landing on the road down the first
entrance to Lake.
This is the first Paleozoic talus or scree
deposit that I have seen.
