Wednesday, Sep. 12-1923 Belfast.
Left Belfast at 7.30 m a trg, and drove south
tr Camden and Rockport.
Four miles south of Belfast are one much Pentwort,
Apparently much intruded by diorite or all is diorite with
quartz pieces of the Pentwort that have increased. See sample.
Then climbed half way up Mt Battle just back
of Camden. To me the Mt appeared to be all quartzite
conglomerate with most of the pebbles and the matrix
all of albite quartzite. There are however some almost
black quartzite pieces in it and my rare a small piece
of a crystalline quartzite, fair pebbles up to 12"
but most are under 4 inches. Most of them are flat sub-
circular pebbles, but there is also much angular material.
See the two pieces from Mt Battle and a sample
tried on the shore at Hog Cove just south of Camden.
Then we looked at the Rockport liq quarries for
[illegible]
lime. They are very deep vertical quarries in a stiff
orange fully or marble quarry. Have two
samples. One sees no bedding.
Farther south or about one-half mile north of Rock-
park occurs a liq conglomerate that Barton has called
a intraformational eagle. It is a true conglomerate since
it is made up of other pieces than the formation.
