Corner of the Beach
Thursday August 18, 1938
Cloud and started out in a light fog for
the Cambrian loc. 2 1/2 miles west of the R.R. cut.
We found no Cambrian fossils. The cut has
recently been widened, and the material is too
fresh to give good results for fossils.
It appears that all rock under the cut to C.
is underlain by a thick-bedded orthite and slippery
sandy loc 40-50' thick, that appears to be of the
Whitehead fm. The C. is thin-bedded string-shales
(see on to left).
