Wea. TUES. MARCH 9, 1909 Ther. Reith says this is probably the first area anywhere N of the N-W Highlands to see a dis- sected thrust sheet and its basal mylonite gone. I think Clark had interpreted it as a can- famatic gone, and that he had no idea if its being a thrust plane. In many places, we could see the contact of the Mallett or Beed mountain. Usually the contact was high angled - say 30 to 45° but up in the whole the thrust plane appeared to be as low as 10° or less.
