Finally this man is traced westward, all ground up into small blocks some for
long and turned about in any direction, and even ground up into particles under
an inch across.
Farther on to the west comes in the Phylloid grits, shales and then bedded
and 2 or 3 foot thick Li. grits from C Head chat. This man is about +600 feet long by 20 feet thick.
Other similar masses occur farther over. These are not so regularly placed in
regard to the dip as the other more eastern ones.
One is impressed with the regularity of the dip usually around 30 degrees.
Even the rocks when large and flat are set in the angle conforming with this
dip. Or are the great blocks of these bedded li, thick not always with or keep
a dip. At the western point Dunstan enters one great mass standing vertical.
To have great blocks many put a length and more, hundreds of feet long all
laid down in one general direction coming here, it occurred in a sort slide.
Therefore the dip land must have been to the east of Carr Head from which
the material slid into the sea and there once frozen. The dips are now one
can actually be foresetting slopes instead of dipping slopes due to deformation,
or maybe from eastwards compound or series
Dunstan was agrees that Cnr Head is a conglomerate and that
grit blocks at least +600 x 20 feet occur in it. He says the evidence for this
is most plain among the Cambrian strata on the outer side of the peninsula.
Here the blocks are less large, in dimensions see any note of 1910.
In the afternoon we again collected Cambrian fossils. Dunstan got 2
sealy entire trilobites. Otherwise we got less than yesterday.
The highest part of Cnr Head (206 feet) is also made up of Li. Congl. Thus for
all of the peninsula may be regarded as of Li. Congl.
