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.
