Windsor, July 5 - 1912 Should Bell run the section to Maxviers Point. Maxviers Point dolomite dips N.N.E. at an angle estimated at about 45°. Dolomite somewhat broken and the rocks showed me one another and slickensided, The dolomite lies in a distinct syncline with a somewhat eroded and slickensided center. South East Dolomite Maxviers Point In coming to Maxviers Point one sees to the northward of the Point in the bottom of the River an island about 100 feet long made up of dolomite with gypsum farther to the northwest, i.e. under the dolomite. Is this the dolomite of the Grinders quarry gone with the gypsum that one sees at high tide line near the Bridges? The distance between the two limestones at Maxviers Point is not less than 300 feet and may be more. This is partly the Grinders li. and the lower gypsum but this Bell will determine.
