Maguasha Landing,
St. Omer, Quebec, Friday Sep. 6, 1930
A cold night and a cool but brilliant morning.
At 8 A.M. I started for Maguasha Landing where I
arrive at 9.45. Then E about 1/4 mile other the distant
Devonian Barke SS appear dipping to E and a little S.
The dip increases from 20° to 27°
In the basal Bonaren time cycle occur large pieces
of undulating Barke SS, just as figured by Kiddle. The
contact is a discord form with quite erosive irregularities of
several feet. Here the trundles are also layers up to 18".
These Gacra Point cycles are divided by a medial
sandstone about 15'-20' thick. The lower cycle appears to
be 75' thick and the upper cycle about 75', making the
whole man from 165'-195'. In the lower cycle there
is much vesicular volcanic rock.
Above the cycles are fractured shales with inter-
neddled SS all of which are more than cycloconcretic
but into the pellets, small. These SS and cycles are
much cemented by calcite (see specimens), and are
lenses pinching out to E. The inter-neddled shale is
more regularly neddled. In the upper part of these shales
there is a caliche layer 2'-3' thick (on sample), it occurs
beneath a coarse sandstone; thus sand and some parts.
