"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
