Saturday, August 23 continued He seen from about one half mile W of Belle Anse. The old eroded Devonian surface is interesting in showing that it was in Pre-Bonarentine time as we see it now, i.e., folded, eroded and jointed with the Bonarentine mud and pebbles overlying down into the joints and filling all the hills and hollows of this surface all between the toundas of Caples 5 and 6. About 1/3 of a mile NW of Belle Anse P.Q. buried eroded Devonian surface goes beneath the sea, and here one sees about 20' of the basal Bonarentine. The lower 4' to 10' is usually of the orthoclase grey splintery Congl. [see two specimens from E. of Belle Anse]. Higher occurs more than reddish yellow-pinkish overlying SS with pebbles and toundas. Did not go farther W as all the shore looked to be of the Bonarentine in low cliffs some hidden from 20'-30'. Goldring gives the dip of the Bonarenture as 6° W, but to me it appeared to be less say 40 W. She states in her diagram (Fig.1) that they go Basa-Chris and Tickle Inlet. Farther NW of the inlet there is Devonian again with a dip of 20°/S. [80°? E]. In this one see their continuation to the critical red SS to the W of the Coule of the Percery rim.
