2835 Dolfrille, July 22-05 Spent the morning and afternoon at two small quarries about two miles north of Dolfrille on the road to Grand Pre. The first quarry belongs to Mr. Harris and shows about ten feet of Black Shale having Devonian land plants. The other quarry is on higher level and shows probably not less than 30 feet. The horizon of the first quarry is beneath the seemed. The black shales pass upward into sandy shales and then into thin reddish sandstones. The plants from the black and iron stained shales are from the lowest horizon of the first quarry while the sandstones are from the top of second quarry. Some Psilophyta came from the shales beneath the sandstone.
