August 8. Parsons Pond section.
959
(67) 200 Unexposed interval
(68) 20 Oligocene ss., like that above.
This brings us to the lower "manms" and from here over
they appear to be no more exposures in the north shore
1179
Measured strata 6283
Unexposed interval 6812 and 5300 at top
13, 095 | 18,595 feet.
To this should be added the unexposed interval of
about 7000 feet from the outcrop I had first to the con-
tacts with the Oligocene. A dip of 45° for this distance
would give a thickness of about 5500 feet.
Are then carried over to the south shore and farther to the
north shore are encountered thin-bedded clays called li. Dip,
35S 45E. Town levelled yard now is in 25° due E.
One hundred yards east is a 25°N,70E.
Across the core to the next erosion point the dip is 50S.
30E. The thickness of the li. seen here is 84 feet. There is
also an oil well here.
As these li. are a full mile farther over across the struts
it's hard to say what their relations are to the rest of the
section. The general relations known appear known to
be like the ones continuing the section.
