English Bay, then reddish grey, conglomerate,
fracturing limestone with almost no shale
parting. The fossils are almost none, the
commonest being Heloprion (hygrom)
and Rafinesquian.
Then there are the Pascelius
(Pasculis = Dq).
beds we saw June 18 underlying B7.
At this cliff there is a very slight angle
and everywhere the dip is exceedingly
slight. In this room one has to go
miles before getting into lower horizons.
There are a number of conglomerate layers
of no particular significance for there
one beneath the Pascelius horizon, forms
the west of this cliff that is about 3 feet
thick and of the same character as that
described for June 9. These beds must have
been made when this layer was the sea
bottom and a violent storm churned it
and disturbed the bottom. On the arched falls
are the regular fossils belonging to the horizon.
Just above this dolomitie conglomerate layer.
