We have now gotten to the most prominent point to the
south of Clam Cree once another third em [illegible] bed appears.
Here the dip is over step to the north very so-
far seen south of Shulie. It is also evident as we
come south that the regularly bedded red shales drop out and the section becomes more and more sandy
and conglomeratic. One and one granite [illegible] appear as we come south. The cross bedding is
wonderful, channels are 2 feet across and
four feet deep. The dip as far from Shulie has
been two and one track appears to be about one-
half along the strike, see Fletcher's map for dip and strike.
We see much sand, lots of it 20 foot lay among
the coarse sandstone and conglomerates. There is much
more of this sand here than in the south of the Joggins.
Immediately to the south of this point there is a broken
and with probably small faults following it 1/8 mile, none of which have
a throw greater than 5 to 6 feet. On some the throws is
in the north and in others to the south. The beds in general continue to dip to the north. Bill has a sketch of these
faults.
As we proceed to Sand River the flattened beds again pitch to the south and at Sand River we are faced again in the beds seen shortly after leaving Shulie. That is a sandstone with many beds of
