Saturday August 30, Continued our ideas only of the sequence here but as well the mountain structure. On the other hand there maybe Devonian Great north thrusting too. Certain it is that a great fault line with some thrusting runs from the Pierce' Porell R.W., and that the Maltaq syncline has been pushed probably south over the Pierce anticline made in later Ord. Time. If this is true then one will have to revise all from ideas as to the direction of thrusting and folding. Instead of coming from the Atlantic Ocean, it came from the O.E. from the Labradorian part of the Cana- dian Shield. This then could better explain the north thrusting of the St. Lawrence foreland and out its horizontal strata and the intensely crumpled Ord, all along the S.E. side of the great river. Can those are too? If so one have the explanation why Greater Acadia is or different to its geology from the Appalachian area.
