"Stony Creek, Tuesday Aug. 19 -1913 A fine cool day to see this once upstart and exceptional Lulurium action. This back diversity of the village of the creek from stream now dry. But a step from C.P.R. R. and a little further from the defective railway. Queenston is well exposed at several places. Here we come upon the Catarack. It is the characteristic red shales with blue and there a green cracked band. Whirlpool sometime rests in an almost even line on the Queenston. Here as elsewhere the basal beds are heavy and regularly bedded jamming upward into the thin bedded light grey sandstones. The underside of the Whirlpool is marked by filling these fillings are sometimes 2-1/2 inches deep into the semi-crooked surface of the Queenston. [illegible] The basal rock has green Queenston shale including or at other localities and for several miles thrown much more rapidly. The sandstone jam upward into green shales constructed into a very thin series, sands and then interlaced green shales with other bands of magnesian limestone erupts with joints. Chinkora varices and Amphitrite planarcurvosa appear within ten feet of the sandstones.
