Thursday Aug 21, 1930, continued These ss I did not estimate the thickness because they are much cleared at right angles to the fault, turn or rather move on then between SE and E. Stillings along the shore. About 400' N is another fault, but much less significant and probably meeting decidedly red. a slip zone. Shaly sandstone from N. This much disturbed zone is many depends upon this. The shaly zone is also much disturbed. This much disturbed zones goes from N to SW 1000' and upon the whole dips more often E. than S.E., as to be "Barentrune" series. Farther N. the ss in some a long thick beds are again regular and dipping SE between 10o-15o. Then grey goes occur on some bedding planes and scattering small petles are always seen. This series goes to St. Georges church, and then here is ahead in the cliffs and sandy beaches occur and fishermen's boats and coal pits tables. Farther N. appears red or atting ss with shale joints dip S.E. at a low dip; about 5o-10o, and at about one-third mile N. of St. George's church the strata rise quickly into an upward flexure bringing up thick redded green to grey finely laminated ss that make Red Head. This flexure is also little to diagram opposite. These ss are wonderfully cross-bedded in curved planes and very much like what I saw in Bermuda or on a far smaller scale. Certain in here some wind blown sand. And then here is a
