84. The sandstone at this place is
[illegible] probably the Cambrian sand-
etone, but I do not learn
certainly, if it is Cambrian,
thn, some Cambrian slate has
been changed to a very fine
grained almost adinse rock.
The sandstone is evidently
folded thus a four times in
the short exposures and is cut
off transversely to the strike
of the folds by the Archæan
limestone on the north, while
the Archæan on the south
may have been originally so
north the sandstones. The pres-
ence of fluorine here suggests
the opening of fissures here, and
the probability is that the sand-
estone is faulted in here. No
case report of this sandstone
dipping under the Archæan
limestone I do not believe, as
looks a little that way at me.
