The Cambrian is a thick redded foreathers thin redded
light gray (almost white) fings crystalline ls and orlite
with yellowish weathering, then slatey ls and very near a
Kluist ls (one with my lens). Also has Cryptogran. There
is surey exprosed here over 50' of thickmess. The auto road
and the strike of the ls is alike; or 50° S. with the usual
N.W. strikes. Do the Nts to the S. and to the N. Between the
in the crally Potage Brook are the auto road and railway.
This Cambrian outcrops in between 13/4 and 2 miles
west of the Corner of the Beach on the road to Anse L'Bean.
Fills some light brown miles to the SW. on Chaleur Bay,
At near 1/2 mile E. of the Cambrian locality there lie a lot
of loose Rickmondian rock but now more in place. All
at this lies much barke ss and blocks of Bonaventure some
of which is glacially striated.
I am certain that the E exposure is the southern limit
of an anticline and connecting with the anticline of Lower
Oerman shown to the NW on Charles geological map
in Memoirs of N.Y. State Survey. It is here then that the
higher part of the Perce Cambro-Ord. anticline occurs.
What lies on top of the Cambrian? A middle says he finds
nothing other than Rickmondian. This is therefore curious.
Can it really be that there never was here any Reed mantoon
and Middle Ordovician? If or are have to reconstruct
