"thin bedded" crenul limestone, with almost no shale and without fossils other than the jointed room lumps that go vertical through the strata. Some of these crenul limestone are also conglomeratic but a close inspection shows them to be only foreign material but are intrusion of conglomerate (data conclude that this are true crop). In other places one comes upon limited patches of these thin bedded limestones that lie between the conglomerate masses. Either this material was deposited in holes between the piles of stone or from time to time the shale mass slipped down into clefts and crevices and or pushed into the mud and gauging out of sloped Lata concluded that they are fallen in large blocks, and the contortion were due to folding these beds under went before deposition in June 19 (1917 = ?, fault brecciation). In the afternoon started in along the north or east side of Carr Head peninsula and crawled all around it. Just a little distance along the shore from the village houses one sees large masses of thin bedded somewhat sandy limestones (sometimes about one inch in thickness) separated by themore and often lumps (in places a whole). Fossils are very scarce but we managed to collect a number of specimens of Lingula that may be accum. crata, L. marina? Dikellocephalus and Myloglyphea. These indicate Lanotgan or uppermost lower Cambic time (All other count to Daleett Cobs - 1917). There is so much of this upper Cambic material that one concludes at first it were deposited in place. Some of these exposures show faces at least 20 feet high and fully 100 feet long. The great mass if it seems to have the normal dips of the conglomerates but parts of it is badly folded and even crumpled. As one goes along towards the outer
