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.
