July 24. Continuation of page 77. Duntars notes.
[illegible]
Thicknes of strata not measured, but rough estimates appear to
[illegible] equivalent thickness to those seen on the Hunter,
see the photos of this again.
"Drift the Laurel are situated along the south side of Middle Cove but did
not go above farrowing tree. On the Peterburg appear Hardish Shales dipping
steeply to the westward for a foot thickmen, finally a thin zone of red shales and
further on a heavy bed of buff clined rock which maybe quartzite n'domite.
Then the middle of Long Cove the exposures are not so good and we had
to stay further up shore because of the shoals, but the dip is seem to be almost
vertical. Further north along the west side of this cove and along Corp's Point the
strata are dipping to the eastward and belong to the Hard Shale and rounded beds
studied this morning.
"Afternoon studies in the East Arm of Barne Bay where we saw
the Lower Cambrian or once developed it appears very fracture that the
beds seen between Penguin Head and Long Cove along the south shore
of Goose Arm belong here."
