July 11. Tattle Head Core and north
along the shore for only 300 feet. This initially outcrops directly by the Crow Head Craglimestone
Then all at once comes in the Crow conglomerate. This fault line is here for immediately back of it are the Tattle head Shales. The angular limestone faults are here enormous and two far from exceed 2 foot in diameter. It is a mass of angular broken of Chazy limestone with occasional small pieces of upper Bedlamton. Rarely one sees at once 4 or 5 feet seems to be seen, nor is there any fault to find together the limestone rather than its own debris. In one place one sees a block of upper conglomerate and lower
Bedlamton conglomerate about 20 foot long by 6 foot thick. This a block in the Crow Head conglomerate.
One half mile north of Tattle head core appears a mass of dark green sandy shales, as if it were inter bedded with the conglomerate. It looks to be the same shale seen at the northern end of the Tattle head core underlying the Crow head conglomerate. Three foot from pebbles only of it.
Blue green
About one mile north mud shale is squeezed in between the blocks. This may represent an intruded dyke of open shale, now crushed and re-jointed. Conglomerate and in place, part blocks of the shale are present. Then the conglomerate becomes finer and is mixed with the shale. Finally reaching the shale - conglomerate comes in once again not unlike there at the mouth of the exposure. This is an 1/2 sandstone may be about 10 feet thick. There underlying the Crow Head conglomerate, its own mudstone.
About 4 miles north of Port au Port are just a few pebbles in shore lips or 3. See the specimen, label says put no 5 but 3 is correct.
The next higher sandstones are common and have field for grains. Our small concretions.
About 1 mile north of Port au Port are the nice if folded red and green
