Joggins July 10-1912. Bedno day. Lost a dragon and drove motleast to Grimudie which is on the west side of Stetut Riva. Lost there about 9.30 A.M. The section here begins just to the north of Grimudie mark and is described on the opposite page. The brick-red shales are decidedly sandy, much [illegible] and somewhat semi-cracked but not very crused. Towards the sandstones and in the lower sandstones, some of mud was broken up and flattened down in flakes showing stream action. The sandstones are fairly clearly cracked, ruffled and much cross-bedded with considerable pieces of calcimized coral fragments more of which is even generally determinable. Just what the structural relations of the strata are on each side of Grimudie mark could not be made out because of a lack of outcrops. All seem to be of the same kind of material and probably belong to one formation. In the limestone - a blue and grey nodular limestone of buff color in thickness, had Peeten and small Prodructus suggesting the Brindon fauna.
