51 Contact between Archaean and
Olenellus Cambrian Sandstone
on south side of the road leading
past the south end of Sliffs Pond,
and about 100 yds east of the fork
of the road.
Strike Magnetic N 38 E dip 33 W.
Sandstone at the contact. The main-
ly calcareous shale further west, and
still farther west are limestone beds.
Fossils. Olenellus Thompsoni.
It is evident that unless some un-
expected trends take place, the con-
tact line between the Archaean and
the Cambrian must run about as
indicated by the red pencil mark
from locality 50 to locality 51. At
any rate it can hardly run very far
up the hill side judging from the
strikes at 50 and 51. Since this is
hardly likely to be debatable ground
and since it has no doubt been
mapped by Mr. Dall, I did not
trouble to examine it.
