In the dark shales of the upper part of the Green Point
section there are occasional thin limestones and once nearly a
thin conglomerate zone. Usually these limestones are gray and
sometimes text decidedly while the shales are not grayer but
are plaine. One of these limestones about one inch thick was
clearly sun-cracked and on smell or with the edges of the
prisms were elevated or that threated or edge had a
thickness of 1/2 to 2 inches. This is a clear case of long
sun drying. The other way beds did not appear on their
edges for here and once their character to the graces of
that sea. Further there was no evidence of sun cracking.
The northeastern point of Lobster Cove shows in the lower
part of the section here a series of dark to black then bedded
to Jopery shales with some greenish sandstones like those
seen by Towerkful in Hallings Bay. Higher the shales give
gray to one and one of the greenish sandstone but from
here we sees an occasional thin zone of the characteristic
conglomerate. The dips here is from 40 to too degrees in the
direction of about 10 degrees east of south. The strata are
here more disturbed than farther northeast. Crumpling and
crushing becomes once and once marked as we proceeds to
Catt Point Lighth. Some metamorphic changes are also
noticeable as the appearance of flint zones. Towards the
Lighthouse point the greenish sandstones predominate
again. No conglomerates are seen here. It is therefore apparent
that the change from Dir 15 to 76 is a gradual one and
