After passing the Triassic on the west end of
Charles Head one comes upm the crushed and
rolled (falls upon hills) area making the entire
front of the head. Red and green shales, sandstone,
rock cut macous limestones, and great masses
of gypsum lie upon one another in the greater
confusion. The erosion relief of this stuff is
more fantastic and is unlike anything I have ever
seen. Evidently it is made up of bits of the
"Devonian" and Carbon series are rolled together
in more tangled mass. The color effects here are fine.
Roundin Charles Head one again comes upon
the trap but this time at sea level. It swallows nearly
all of the little errc back of the head but not all
for the most northerly part is again Triassic sand-
stone. The latter dips again to the north so that
all of the Triassic must be faulted in here. If the
dip of the Triassic were to the south one could say
that it have been formed on the slopes of the Orte-
guild.
On front of Charles Head beyond the crushed
zone of Paleogries occurs isolated masses of the
trap. It is a confused mass as if in a near
or date and is greatly crushed and contorted.
