Campbellton N.B.
Tuesday September 2-1930
It rained but very little during the night not
enough to the duck.
Anyway my sleep in Fairdays evening train due,
and then walked about one mile over along the the In-
ternational railway track to see the Lower Devonian
that furnished Ford many years ago some fragmentary
fish remains and Ostracoda.
Beginning about 3/4 mile over of railway station, one
sees an exposure about 1000' long of thin bedded (orather
dr) schist siliceous or cherty ls with some greenish
slightly micaceous fine grained sandstones. The schist l's are
faintly spotted with originalization. All dip S.E. varying
between 20°-30°. Then in a thickness of these l's of many
dozens of feet. And they go on West with lower
beds seen in places along the banks of the Restigouche
River.
At the north end of these ls then appears to be a fault,
some primary aplite due to the incompetent sh that came
in above. This is a dark blue-black flinty or hardy
limestone of about 15' to 20' thick. See section to left.
To the E, a higher follows thin bedded dark peculiar
mineralized barke ss (have a piece) One sees at least
150' when the section is outbuilt by house. Dips 30° S.E.
