with the Beellmantown. These limy sandstones
are near the base of the Benjia, other in the next
field to the west we sees the thin redded limestone
of the Highgate.
At locality #4 near the Canadian border
we got considerable material from the basal Benjia
in Beellman town. At first Raymond was disposed
to interpret the contact between the Benjia and
Highgate li, as one of non thrusting, but clearly
he cannot be so. Later on he admitted that.
The contact is an angular one, but the highly
folded nature of the Highgate li. and the
Benjia was all produced at one time. There
could on there have been mountain oralling at the
close of the Cambrian. The Cambrian was partly
scraped some at the close of this period, than eroded
and finally overlapped by the Benjia in Beellman
town time.
