"Sea did not arrive until late in N.C. time
and later in Ordovician time [illegible] around
excepting the northeastern side of Newfound[land].
are parts of Newfoundland and Labrador. This is the time
of limestone depositing areas that finally terminate
in flaccid shale and sandstone deposits (gmes
13-14)
Shortly after Ordovician time came the
(terminules [Newfoundland])
firth of the Long Range, and on their western
side the accumulation of limestone con-
glomerates terminating in the first thicknesses
of shale and sandstones (gmes 15-16). On
the northeastern side there appears to be
none of these later deposits (15-16) and it
is very probable that no Ordovician was
deposited in any part of the southeastern
area.
The formation of the di. cong'l. and the
shale-sandstones seemingly occupies the time
of the Trenton-Lorraine.
