Schistosity is so thoroughly developed that
it has destroyed in the rocks what joints there
were. Even the limitations of dimensions and
size the quartz veins are somewhat schistose. The
foothills are pulled apart and the joints filled
with calcite or quartz. It is in these narrow
margins that one gets a few joints. A short day
of crawling would probably yield a half dozen
specimens, and these would determine the
value. The joints are of good for time values.
Mr. Drinmontan J Harvard was with
us all day. He has an area 6 x 4 miles
granted in for a disputation. He is after
the structure and not the joints,
[Comparing this valley with the Georgia one
there are seen great differences in the sediment. Here
quartzites prevail while that Georgia dolomites of several
types and varieties are at hand along with a good
development of conglomerate. In both areas, however,
Late Cambrian bones occur.]
