„_,„T GEOLOGY SECTION NO. 22. 243 



known as Bodies moutonnes that is perhaps to be seen anywhere in this 

 country. These Bodies moutonnes are immense rounded masses of rock 

 scattered through the valley, and from a distance look like a large 

 flock of recumbent sheep. These rocks have all been polished by the 

 glacier. In this valley are also groovings and striations 5 these striae and 

 grooves have the same direction as the valley. 



On the eastern side of the valley of Eagle Eiver we have high bluffs, 

 from which I made the following section : 



Section No. 22. 



In ascending order : 



1. Gneiss. 



2. White quartzite. 



3. Fine-grained, rather compact sandstone in lamina3, having greenish 



grains, (glauconitic ?) 10 feet. ^ , : 



4. Sandstones somewhat like those of IsTo. 3, but grayish-brown in color; 



the laminae have a greenish coating on which there are mud- 

 marks; 98 feet 6 inches. 



5. Space probably filled with sandstone, 22 feet 8 inches. 



6. White quartzite, like No. 2, 4 feet 9 inches. 



7. Space, in the upper portion of which there is an outcrop of a met- 



amorphosed conglomerate, seemingly made up of pieces of white 

 quartzite and brown sandstone. The masses are irregularly 

 shaped. The lower part of the space is probably filled with sand- 

 stone ; 68 feet 4 inches. 



8. Light-bluish limestones, weathering on the surface white and yel- 



low, non-fossiliferous. It is in bands of from 3 to 8 inches, and has 

 a cross-fracture. At the top it is crystalline. Part of the lime- 

 stone is probably magnesian ; 219 feet 6 inches. 



9. Very hard black flinty limestone, with fragments of fossils and pieces 



of pyrite, 273 feet 9 inches. 



10. Space probably filled with limestone, 1,400 feet. 



11. Laminated volcanic rock, 15 feet. 



12. Blue limestone with fossils ; could not define limits above. 



13. Space, lower part of -which is probably filled with a continuation ot 



limestones of No. 12, and the upper part with gray micaceous 

 sandstones and shales, 408 feet 2 inches. 



14. Greenish-gray micaceous sandstones, conglomeritic in places, 352 feet. 



15. White granular sandstone, with brown spots, 8 feet. 



16. Brownish sandstone, 99 feet 8 inches. 



17. Red sandstone, 11 feet 4 inches. 



18. Soft greenish sandstone in fine layers, with a few hard bands each 



a few inches in thickness, 99 feet 3 inches. 

 10. Coarse white sandstone, with grains of quartz; becomes finer 



grained above, 71 feet 3 inches. 

 20. Eed sandstone, 57 feet. 



The fossils in No. 9 are very indistinct, some resembling Spirirer or 

 Spiriferina ; the layer is probably Carboniferous. In No. 12, 1 found the 

 following, identified by Professor Meek : Aviculopecten, Fleuropliorus^ 

 and Avicula or Bdlievellia; these indicate Carboniferous age for the layer. 



The section above (No. 22) was made north of Eoches moutonnes Creek, 

 and could not be continued farther because the bluifs became perpen- 

 dicular. Section No. 23 was made below the mouth of Eoches mou- 

 tonnes Creek, and completes section 22.
