June 8 is the equivalent of the Table
Head sandstone Division 15. It is f[illegible]
alone and apparently at once ( can not be
certain of this because of a little fault, that
may have broke in to) of June 8 seen at the
fault by the Cow Head conglomerate, or
Cowhead Cong.
Hamley gives the thickness as 30 ft.
fut it is certainly 300 ft. and maybe
even 500 ft. thick. It is exposed along
the shore for at least one mile, and
the strike is a little transverse to the
shore, and at times even 10 to 75 degrees.
Here the limestone conglomerate (Cow Head
equivalent 16) is composed of the same
angular pieces of limestone dec hardly worn.
The pieces are small but we saw blocks
of limestone up to three feet across and of
the sandstone June 8 one piece 4 ft. long.
Another piece was shorter. We also saw
2 Maclureas and two sponges as pebbles
