641 Farthest or rather exposure is a dyke, of diabase
I think running N85W and cutting across the slates whose strike is N70-75E, dips
nearly vertical or faintly towards N. The real
strike can be detected by the fine banding
confered if changes I call or by fine scale and
clears. East of this dyke and first part of the
same I think stratify vertically are bands of
quarts following the true strike of the slates.
This would seem as though they might be met-
tamorphic sand sedimentary beds but
they seem to break across the slate layers a bit,
the turns which they can come up and al-
though they be in a decided by sedimentary ap-
pearance I am conclud, they were veins.
The cleavage has a direction here in the slate
d N75 dip vertical, and stops abruptly at
the 'candet ore'. In the sandstone are clefts
running N60W. In one or two layers of shale
intercalated the cleavage is the same as the
general cleavage with air. This leads me to
believe that the cleavage of the shales was made
after the intrusion of the quartz veins, and per-
haps at the same time or after the dyke between.
At the north side of the road the strike is E+W,
and the dip is 75N. The cleavage is N65W and
is disp vertical. On the south side of the road is
a dyke like '9' or a candet ore, probably the first
since it resembles '1' which looks more like a dyke
than candet ore. At the southern end of the ex-
plosure is what I think is another dike. It looks
like a candet ore but breaks as as the slates in-
regularly like a dyke. This would make at
least 8 dykes in this locality, all of the same
kind. The strike and cleavage here seem to agree
N65W. dip 80-70N. The dike once a cross the
strike from the south endthen to the count northen
exposure is 112 steps = 225 feet? The slate of the entire
series is finely banding, greenish, or dark bluish green
sometimes very albitly. People not resembling
the red series however at all.
641 The ridge of 41 -- of 42. Runs N65W. This would
make the ridge pass to the south of Racoon se-
land. It is composed entirely of dykes
veins. These were formed by or near the close.
