August 28-1918. Middle Arm.
"This brings us to the first at the east edge of Broad acre and
the strike of the above beds hits the shale again about ½ mile further.
In the intermediate distance the shale is seen to be considerably
disturbed and crushed. Continuing the section from a rocky point.
So' Heavy bedded grey quartzitic ss, dipping 60° due east.
The ss, though dense and hard is small broken and disturbed. It's
appearing repeated by faulting in the next two points a hundred yards
or so apart. In the first of these points it dips 30° due W, and in the
next 62° due W. At this last point which is a prominent outcrop
th' lower 10' of the quartzite is cryptocrystic. The angle downward is
broken by lenses of finer grained ss. The pebbles in the crypt. are of tour
kinds, about half of them are of clear and white quartz and are well
rounded to over-rounded and range in size from ½ to 1¼ inches
in diameter, the average being a little larger than peas. Mr. fell.
spars could be seen. On the other hand there is a relief of pebbles
of rock gravel including clay sandy li. and flake li. of which some
of the latter are fully of fowls. These pebbles tend to be flattened and
subrounded to angular and while the average size is about ½ to ¾
inches across by ¼ thick they range up to 2 or 3 inches across. In the
crypt. layers the pebbles make up nearly the whole, the material of sand
being of small amount.
This bed of ss. is dense and quartzitic of premium properties but
scattering reddish brown on some of the surfaces.
