Thursday Sept. 4 -1930, Continued
On getting to Carleton Drilled W about 1/2 miles
to the shore exposure and at the crossing station on the R.R., to
where the Bonaroutine is exposed, as I trace in this trip from
the car window. Here the engl. all stands or end dipping 70°-90°
S.E. into the Bay; to strike N., N.N.E. It all looks like true
Bonaroutine and it rules the hyper Germanian as we knew from
the Inguasha Landing at Jacta Point. It can be seen W. of
Carleton along shore for about 1000'; and again to the E at the W.
"Limit of Carleton Village" in the brook where the R.R. and
auto road crosses it. Here to dip, in about 30°-5 into the
Bay. Here and there in the critical beds one sees large sun-
facies slitten-sided horizontally or somewhat tangentially.
The thin here could be some hundred & 7 feet, on N
of which is a cross engl and as he thk come in the high
out of the s
with thin sheets or plates ofponge porcelin
cut nearly str. as at Jacta Point. The auto road does
rise over it and in places one sees the engl coming
to road. Amongst the pebbles are rim cratered as in
the regulatin Bonaroutine.
In this place the Bonaroutine does not have much ls
and red sh., orange Pierce to yellow and clean blue ones,
mostly large ss, and occasional small sponge commun.
The ring quartz particles are small usually under 1/16th inch and
well rounded. Low mg granite, and but me grain boulds.
Jasper is rare but in places is more common and up to
3" across. There is considerable of a thin red dust sandy
