in the road to Jay Lake
At Mr. Phelps lime kiln, fossils abound
in limestone. Better fossils are to be had at
Mr. Broadwell's in the race to his saw-
mill on Thunder Bay River.
On the road leading to Tombridge mill
and cement kilns is a small hill and
near by in the grove is a long exposure of a
mile full of fine fossils.
Several miles above Tombridge the
same strata appear under the bridge crossing
the north branch of Thunder Bay River.
Thunder Lake at the west end has
fossils.
east side
Thunder Bay Island, fine fossils in
great variety and abundance. North of the
island fossils can be seen in the shoals.
Middle Island has the lowest strata
in the Thunder Bay Region along its eastern
shore. These are best exposed on the north
side. Directly east of Middle Island on
the side of a small creek flowing south
easterward into Lake Huron about 1/2 mile
from the lake extend a series of low
hills for about one mile up stream.
