"The Caib. lies on the outturned edge of Lower Silurian strata, displayed in the mountains which bound the plain,
and on the coast of Port au Port Bay." (See p. 310) There
was then a mountain making previous to the Appalachian
Revolution. Can this be the Taemic Revolution?
The Caib. transpires from Bay of Sauge Tomus Grand Pond.
Here the basal conglomerate (1300') the gypsum layers are absent,
(See p. 329). The same is also apparently true in the Hunter River valley.
The highest coral bearing cretaceous of Cape Breton
is thought to be occurring in Newfoundland. See p. 310.
The conglomerates at the base of the Caib. are composed of
Laurentian and Ordovician rocks derived from the Long Range.
Pieces up to 2-3 feet across. (See p. 311-312). They help to
explain group No.
Conglomerate of basal Caib. 1300' thick. See p. 311.
The gypsum series comes in above 150' thick.
Then shales, sandstones and li(ke) (this) at Fiddles North 1893'-2000'
The marine fauna comes in about 1200' from top. (See p. 316)
Then sandstone and conglomerate up to 2000'. Thin coal.
The sandstone of to 2000'. Has coral seams.
For Caib. fauna list see p. 400. Looks to one little Ordovician
fauna.
