"After limol started north from St. Albans
and at about 3 1/2 miles north came upon a large exposure of the [illegible] conglomerate, that it lies upon the Shiggate slate. One man of the Shell-
burne Limestone has a length of 60 feet long, 15 feet
thick, and the other one we can see at least 30
feet of it. It is undulant of conglomerate and run-
pair by conglomerate. This large mass is clearly transported.
A little south of the big limestone boulder one
sees interlaided sandstone lenses. Here are marine
dolomite infilling fragments of trilobite
luid and line of rounded sand grains, see Sample.
Here is a little cliff about 13 feet high like the:
Limestone conglomerate pressed and schistose
About 7 feet thick.
Round grained sandstone with bit/lithic pellets. 14" thick
dolomite with round grained sand.
Same sandstone with many lithic pellets [unseen] about 24" thick
Li, Congl. Pellets stardly
3feet see photo
These sandy
- dolomite infilling
can be seen at several levels, and
at different places.
The taste of the conglomerate is dolomite with round
sand grains. In places such dolomite-sand is devoid of
conglomerate and here appear to be rare organic debris!
