542 CARBONIFEROUS ROCKS IN CUMB. CO. — LOGAN & FLETCHER. 



Ft. In. 



105. Reddish-gray nut-and-egg conglomerate, among th.e 



pebbles of which are some of gray sandstone, 

 containing plants and perhaps Carboniferous, 

 although the greater number are of red syenite, 

 porphyritic felsite and various Devonian qnart- 

 zites. Gray patches show carbonized markings of 

 stems of plants 14 



106. Pinkish and triassic-red, coarse sandstone, with 



pebbly patches; forms the great cape north of 

 Spicer Cove. Dip S. 41° E.< 12°. The strike 

 would apparently run the rocks against the con- 

 glomerate cliffs of the opposite side of the cove, 

 which they appear to represent. Tine reddish 

 sandstone and grit almost entirely replace the 

 coarser beds on the strike. The lower 33 feet are 

 repeated and the measures are tlien concealed by 

 the beach of Spicer Cove 55 



107. Measures concealed 



Total thickness 974 2 



On the low shore northeast of the mill at Spicer Cove, 

 several good reief s seem to indicate a continuity of low southerly 

 dips between the cliff exposures and, consequently, an absence 

 of faults. If there is no important fault, the measures of tlie 

 following section may be a repetition of the rocks below No. 80 

 of Section X.
