[Later over this place for a conf. contact] Then a little south to Orantm Junction and here saw the Champlain fault. See the Primrosi marble overlie the Chazy marble. Thrust plane almost horizontal. [Conast to the 18 on the lower Philopton section] The Chazy is completely marcelized and at Fonda Quarry is taken out for lime turning. Orantm has photo, of the place of contact. Here in now crushing at the junction such as one would expect. One sees a zone 2 to 4 inch of the Chazy melted as if where and stull to the Primrosi. In the Cave between the two seen this crushed little zone one have ten much thicken. Neverthelso one sees almost no change other than the marcelization of the Chazy and some hardening of the Primrosi. From here to Fonda Quarry the distance is somewhat less than half mile, but the actual distance across is more guaranty mile. During Hunt's lake is about 20 feet. Falls of Mill North through vertical Chazy li. with some of drd. One-eight mile E., in the sticky costamoids dipping Primrosi. Then looked up the Primrosi-Beardmantum contact near Lake Champlain to the S.W. of Parkers Quarry. It is not or once exposed as near Orantm Junction.
