If 18° is the dip then its thickness can be ascertained from the measurement of 145 ft. 1062 C 4 Point at cursing two islands 2 m from outlet- ting 1 m South of C3. dips 55° N 20 W as determined by fossils. The rock is of a distinctive character with mica + iron oxide. The large island is a continuation of the ledge on shore, 1076 / B¹ 1076 Moosehead Lake ME. 68- June-11-89 - 4 1076 B²- on South and East-shore of Farm Island on Moosehead Lake.
