Port Daniel Aug 27 Sunday:
After breakfast walked over to First Point
the other side of Port Daniel bay. The rocks
here look much like those seen about
once or bacon but then appear to be more
limestone horizons.
One gne is made of of broken reef ends
just as if a big reef was nearby and this
material had fallen down into the present
location before solidation. Another limestone
gne is made of 2 finely thin bands separates
by thin bands of shale. Red and green are
the prevailing colors in the whole gneiss.
Almost at the Point and but a short
distance north of the tree, about coral limestone
spicled of a flat grit with many valves of
a Memmorella. This very suggestive genus
indicates that the First Point beds are about
the horizon of the reef itself.
In going back to Port Daniel drew the
section on the previous two pages.
