July 15: Crest Bay. Further south in Piccadilly Bay I shot out the sea bed to the then Causal run to Middle Peninsula and here for a quarter of mile are exposed brick red shale, and chief layers. They seem Hett overlies part of the variegated series. Today we learned little in relation to the succession. The shots are too much marked to determine their thickness. Out side of the limit of grapto-lites collected the day was considered a blank. There too there are wider areas of low craft with no well exposure. It now seems to me that the sequence in northern Newfoundland is the Beekmantown to Table Head series, a distance followed by the Corn Head conglomerate and the following variegated shale and coarse sandstone series; (3) the thick Richmondian series; a long band inter- vened; (4) the Lower Devonian series; and (5) the long Caribou formation sequence. Dunton describes the Table Head series as follows: "Black shales, and li. Ten feet of black shale with grapto-lites is exposed, and below this 20 to 30 feet of black chert with some inter-bedded black shale, grading towards the top into finely flaked chert and shale. Then followed by a considerable thickness of black carbonaceous shale with thin bands of grayish head carbonaceous li., all much cracked. The thickness is about 200 feet but Prof. Schuchert thinks several hundred feet. Then an unexposed interval of 1/8 mile to the Corn Head coal.
