Wednesday August 24 - 1910.
Left the Gravel at 7:30 P.M. by the onail
mans stage. Left Stephenville Crossing at 8:15 P.M.
Left at 1:07 P.M. for Birchy Cove and Twin-
Hill will leave for home at 4:15 P.M.
Coming over the mountain about three to
four miles west of Stephenville Crossing we
saw that the diorite cuts the Cambri-furns
and further that the Cambri-furns sandstone
is considerably metamorphosed. The coarse
grained quartz grains are tailed a milky
white contrasting sharply with the original
greenish material of deposition. The sandstone
is also considerably hardened and creathus
in places into their laminas as if drawn-
out.
Here then we have the evidence
that the intrusive masses from south of
Bonne Bay are Post-Cambri-furns in age
and belong to the deformation of the
Appalachian Revolution.
