Wea. Sun. Jan. 31, 1909 Ther.
but fine exposure showing the darker upper Horton
overlapping the lighter lower Knopfclant, then
the contacts appear to be at right angles, but we
think it is not quite or still the angular un-
ciformity is very great. The lithology of the
formations is very much alike.
About 10 feet above the contact appears the
first basaltic lava flow, about 60 feet thick.
It has many zones of conglomerates. Then follow
one mile and 35. Followed by the second flow
about 120 feet thick. Then there are two or more
faults where this second flow is repeated on
the coast and the section goes on again to
the W. I soon follows the third flow in two
flows separated by a thin zone of
trap breccia and some shale. It is about 45 feet thick.
The upper Horton more than the Knopfclant
in at times reflect with calciche zones, and
calc drop imprints are not rare. This above
maroon red shale - [illegible] sand, Above the
lava flows the [illegible], are many emyl. grs, the
pebbles are angular of size easily up to 6"
many of Red. quartzites and some del. breccia.
