July 23 - 1918. Tuesday. Curling. Raining again today but not so hard as last Friday. Re-examined the western part of Curling to the third quartzite felsur, the red and grey slate quarries. This section is described in more detail by me. See page 81. In the afternoon paid Mr. Thorne for sampling $20, Mr. Lilly $110 for oil, Mrs. Lemming for service $90, and Mr. O'Rourke $75, for service. The strata of Hunter Arm are all, seemingly, of the navigated series and the section rises from east to west. The metamorphism and crushing is most marked in the east and is not decided in the first two 1/2 miles where some of the shale, tate on schist and talcose character (a yellow-white smooth clay). In the afternoon Dunbar made an attempt to get to the mountains to the north of Hunter river and to the north of the abandoned Hunter rally a more antique rally than the present one. Here are exposed unmistakable Upper Beekmantown strata with Ceratites, and below these he saw an abundance of lower spires fossils. For them proves the presence of the Beekmantown. Above the Beck- mantown are thin and much darker irregular a thinly like li. that are cer- tains of the Chazy. What the relations of these beds are to the great marble axis could not, however, be determined. Dunbar is still inclined to think that the marble series is Beekmantown - Upper Cambrian but cannot account for the greater thickness of the marbles than anything we know (2000 feet). Accordingly he would explain the relation of the Beekmantown - Marble series as one due to faulting, and that the marble is Post-cambrian. (In the geology map this page 52-)
