These joints were sitting at the north end of Lake Bromsen or Dark Castleton.
Beneath the quarry gone there are thin
joints of dolomite. One of these is two feet thick
and is said to have a wide distribution.
At the north end of Lake Glenn we saw
a joint 6 feet thick of snow white quartzite. Also
much jointed and filled with quartz veins.
At one place at the south end of Lake Glenn
we saw a vertical cliff, a joint striking cleav[?]
a synclinal. All was sharply cleaned at an low
angle to the east. From this it is held by Dale
that the Lake Bromsen areas all lie in
I think on it appeared to be a zone of joints all trending to the S.S.E. and lying
a syncline. The main quarry gone along north side
of Bromsen is of one kind white thro[
ugh]
of Lake Glenn are of the other.
Probably all the thin limestones and dolomites
have more or less of sand, usually fine but
sometimes coarse well rounded grains.
What we saw today of the Lower Cambrian
would not make a thickness of 1000 feet, but
are crowded along the strike, not across it.
