Apple River July 15th 1912 Monday.
A very foggy morning but we started out Smith to
see the section.
At the north end of the Pudsey Point Cave came upon greenish shales only irregularly overlain by a very
course conglomerate. The contact is as follows:
conglomerate
Conglomerate
Sandstone
Green Shales
100 feet
Beach
Course sandstone conglomerate.
As we proceed towards Pudsey Point it is seen that all
of the strata are of the course somewhat reddish and in places
greenish course conglomerate with short lenses of greenish
shales and sandstones. The bowlders are more rounded
here than those seen yesterday at Spicer's Cave but are
of the same character here as there. The dip is regular
all the way to the Point. Fletcher's section is worth
noting as a record of the sequence of deposition, for
it is a conglomerate gone with the other finer grained
tills as local lenses. The thickness cannot be
calculated by noting the dip and measuring on a
map the area of these conglomerates.
