August 10-1920 Tuesday.
Started out at 9.30 A.M., for Anbury Crylamte
ate in the Frank Hill Cemetery. Sayles Locality
no 6 of Joplin of 1914. As described by Jales
in page 147. Many of the larger pebbles are very
glacial striated due to stick-siding. These however
need not be mistaken for the actual glacial
striation. No [illegible] have been found here.
Have a piece of the crylamate and several
pebbles, to show faulting and indenting by other
pebbles. This crylamate is supposed to be the
equivalent of the Sguantum tillite, the lower
crylamate.
Then we went on to Sguantum Head
Locality no 13 of Mr Sayles. As described
in page 157- Collected some of the purple
and pink clasts to show faulting = annual
layers. Then went on Sguantum South-East
creek where the tillite is better seen but not so
good as at the Head. There the layering is
finer and more regular and within annular
diagrams.
