Tuesday Sep. 2-1930 continued
It is about 16 miles E to Dalhousie where still lower Devonian appears and on the opposite shore in Beaumaris Bay occurs the Upper Devonian Carbo SS Harry the first beds.
To the W towards Chatapedia the section goes down in the Richmondian. For that between Dalhousie and Chatapedia most of the area is taken up by Lower Devonian on the S shore, while on the N shore the whole of the Barpe SS come in with the so-called Broomertery above - Point Peter rises. Evidently the Shales lie in low undulations repeating the same flora over and over again.
Left Campbellton at 2 P.M. for Dalhousia via a small bus. It took 50 minutes to go the 16 miles.
At 3:30 drove off to take another look at Stewart's Cove but learnt nothing new and saw no fossils. Fossils are our particularly plentiful, but good breaks outside of Lep. Chondridulae are very today. Coprolites exist here for five hundred years in now all covered by beach gravel. Wanted to collect extreme eastern or southern end but tide was too high.
Got back to Chaleur Inn at 6 P.M. with little accomplished.
