I am impressed here with the abundance of rein quartz pebbles and the rarity of the red granite pebbles. As we approach the Otsego, the granite pebbles became more and more abundant while the rein quartz pebbles became more and more abundant from Dennings Cove to Dorchester. Does this mean that these white pebbles have come from the Deer Run anticlinal fold core? The granite pebbles certainly have come from the Otsego. At the base of division 7 at Dorchester Cape Isaw a fair Calamites 1 1/2 meters in diameter and 14 meters long. Other unusual organic plant remains were present.
