DESCRIPTION OF SECTIONS 35 



85. — % mile E of the junction of the Connecticut and Pas- 

 sumpsic Rivers, brook ravine 100 yards N of the Con- 

 necticut. 



Second terrace down from the top. 

 River gravel with cobbles. 



7 feet , o 



1 Sand. 



20 feet sandy varve clay, about 200 varves. Varve limits 

 very difficult to distinguish. 



Exceedingly fat, lead-colored clay, varves 7399 to about 

 7500. Varve limits marked by hardly distinguishable light 

 streaks of silt. The lowest 60 varves thick. 



Fat dark-gray clay, varves 7307-7398. Varve limits often 

 difficult to distinguish. Varve 7307 consists of sharp sand 

 and is 2% feet thick. From this varve it is 3 to 4 feet down 

 to till, which shows in the bed of the brook. Consequently 

 varve 7306 (or 7305) may be bottom varve. 



Series measured : 7307-7400 (also several hundred varves 

 above 7400). 



86. — Inwood, Vt., slide 200 yards E of the railroad station. 



Plain of sedimentation. 



60 feet covered by turf. 



Excellent silty clay, varves 7214-7355. 



10 feet covered and partly slidden. 



Fat clay with very good lamination, varves 7059-7192. 



Sandy clay, varves 7036-7058. 



Series measured: 7078-7192, 7214-7224, 7238-7294, 

 7316-7355, (7036-7077, 7225-7237, 7295-73I5)- 



A little to one side and about 10 feet lower than varve 

 7036 a series of 8 silty to sandy varves with thicknesses 

 varying from 1^ to 6 feet was measured. Bed rock 

 lies about 10 feet below the lowest varve. 



87. — Inwood, brook ravine 500 yards NNE of the railroad station. 

 The section is of little value because of several contorted zones. 



Series measured: (7039-7046, 7082-7139, 7254-7274, 

 7306-7320).
