"S. N. of Shallow Bay. About 1 mile east from the contact
the sandstone has a strike of N. 65 E., dip 74 S. and there
is a gradual steepening with proper earthward. 1/2 miles
north of the centre the sandstones have the attitude
N. 86 E. dip 80 S. About one mile south of Parsons Pond
the sandstone becomes nearly vertical and in one place
dips between 85 and 90 N. with a strike of N. 65 E.
"Note: The fossils found today, with the exception
of one cephalopod obtained from a flood in the emyl,
are obtained from rock in which they were primarily
deposited, this rock being deposited as a sediment
in the conglomerate division, unless it be assumed that
it be a flood fully 2000 feet long by 50 feet thick"
"At the last appearance of the sandstones today, pale
was becoming a more pronounced feature, so it is judged
that zone Ch.3 was being approached."
The conglomerate thickness changes somewhat from place to place
as Torndofel saw pieces of 14 included and almost nothing of the
thickbedded Cambria. Part of the emyl oras made up of material
like that of Bow Core, i.e., 7 pieces of 4-6.
It is now evident that the emyl. Division N - is a marine deposit
in place and directly overlying the sandstone division 14. In all
probability there is a time break between them, during which time all
the strata previously to 15 once elevated above the sea.
As the Ordovician landfall in here not over 5 to 7 miles wide
in front of the left Long Range the question arises did these
