August 16, 1923 Thursday.
St Armand - Phillipstury - Mystic, Quebec
Started north into Canada to follow the Cambrian
formation, went north along Rich River, North of the Broad.
by about 1/2 mile or more where the road crosses Rich River
there is a fall in Rock river. Here may be seen in Lot
123 of Elks only the Seagria slate, and beneath the fifth
satellite. The contact is open an uneven formation we
can't striking dips on either side. Rappaud calls it
a north thrust, but to me it is now once an overthrust
than the one seen last evening 1/2 miles south of the Broad.
Another half mile to the N.W. are due Mallett
not much quarry sheet. Here no contacts with Lami-
formations could be seen.
We see Mallett all along east of the Vermont Central
railway to St. Armand. It makes primarily exposures
in low hills. To the west, i.e., St. Armand lies, are
all Beeldmantown. Between lies two land of the
Champlain Plain, along it runs the railway.
At the south end of the village of Phillipstury,
the contact of Lower Beeldmantown on the 'Utica' - Cambrian
may be seen. The dip of the former is 10 to N to S.E., while
the chalk lies also beneath an much distorted and
triturated, old times not quarry ruins, and it has.
