between the green schist and the hard crystalline is-
news rock. Where it lies upon the schists the conglomerate
is made of this schist, the pieces lie delta shaped,
and are as angular as those now breaking out of the
schist, in size the pieces are all the way up to
8 inches across. It's the material riddled down
the hill sides, where the brown marks are hard
grains rocks then the conglomerates consist
of this same material.
We then drive to Spicer Cove and saw
the New Glasgow conglomerate that Fletcher
states is 871 feet thick. This thickness has been
determined by an out cropping. It's a brick-red
vertical wall of conglomerate with boulders up
to one foot across. None of the pebbles and
boulders show much order and as a rule
have the character of the material seen at
Squally Point upon which the conglomerate
rests, this conglomerate dips to the north
as maybe seen in a long distance view but
close inspection is not so readily seen. The
grains of finer material are of short extent and
all is bound together by a deep red tough
mud.
