Started our first round metal quarry on xx of high-

the first time the overlying fine dolgrig dol. and chrl cpl.

paper pages.
The cpl. here is just like the round we saw a study
of the western end of section, a dark blue sandy-muddy
mud of tangled brucia appearing all the same age as antral
and generally fine grained dolgrig.
forming a thin interbedded with dark laminated dol mud.
then more cpl. above but not or markedly cpl. The pieces
in the cpl. vary up to 6 inches.
A close study of the base of the cpl. shows it to be a depositional contact between the Upper and Lower Cambrian. It shows
not the slight thrusting and the very sandy dol. is not fractured
at this pts.
It now appears that the Linnersonian first before are in
the lower of the Ap-Cambrian, at least here in cpl. below it.
The graphite is clearly distinct from the Lower Cambrian slate,
beneath the sandy dol and the original unconformity.
The dip is S.W. about 15° certainly not as much as 20°
