SHULIE TO SPICER COVE (7) FLETCHER. 527 



Ft. In. 



2. Gray and greenisli-gr.iy and rusty massive sandstone 



with coal-pipes ot" large size ; more or less pebbly. 

 In some places sandstone occupies the whole height 

 of the cliff, but in other places it shows a few inches 

 of argillaceous shale IS 6 



3. Greenish-gray and gray, rusty- weathering, somewhat 



nibbly argillaceous shale 10 



4. Gray thick-bedded sandstone containing patches of 



conglomerate and a prostrate tree eight feet in 

 length. The lowermost forty feet come to the 

 water-level at the mouth of Two Mile Brook, where 

 there are exposed overlying beds which dip S. 5^ 

 E.< 30°, and give a total thickness of 105 feet to 

 the old dam at the head of the cove. Certain 

 layers are coarse and pebbly, others fine and shaly, 

 but none are fit for building stone, containing very 

 in-egular concretions. On the right bank of this 

 brook there is a lenticular layer of greenish-gr ly 

 argillaceous shale, five feet thick, overlaid by con- 

 glomerate and underlaid by fine sandstone, some of 

 which, about eighty feet from the bottom of the 

 mass, is of good grindstone grit. On the opposite 

 bank some of the beds turn to red shale, but only 

 for a few feet. There is a very persistent band 

 of ten feet of this shale with reddish-gray sand- 

 stone. Below this horizon the rocks to the south- 

 west change largely into conglomerate, the coast 

 nearly following the strike of the rocks 105 



5. Dark-gray argillaceous shale. Here occurs a down- 



throw on the west side, of considerable amount, at, 

 a tiny brook. ISTone of the measurement is, how- 

 ever, lost 3 



6. Red argillaceous shale and sandstone in alternate 



bands 25
