6. Thin, nodular-bedded, greyish-blue limestone with thin 
shale partings. Contains many corals and Beatricia. 19 feet. 
5. Thin-bedded, greyish -blue, impure limestone with 
conchoidal fracture. Thin shale partings. Fossils abundant in 
some layers. ‘ 20 fleet. 
4. Blue calcareous shale. Contact with 3 not exposed. 
Contains Pseudolingula elegantula, Clitambonites diver sus, and 
other fossils. About 25 feet. 
3. Grey and blue calcareous shale with thin limestones. 
This is one of the most fossiliferous zones of the Anticosti 
sequence, the most abundant species being Parastrophia reversa 
and Hindella umbonata. Believed to rest directly on zone 2, 
but a small thickness may be concealed. Exposed near the head 
of Ellis bay and a little distance east of Junction cliff. 25 feet. 
2. Thin-bedded, drab and pale-blue, conchoidally fractur- 
ing limestones in 2 to 4-inch beds. Thin shale partings between 
the limestones. These contain many A try pa marginalis and 
Orthis laurentina. 50 feet. 
1. Highly calcareous, dark-blue shale with nodules of 
limestone and a persistent band of grey limestone 4 feet from 
the top. At the top a rough, nodular limestone about 7 inches 
thick, of which the base is covered with fossils characteristic of 
the zone. The zone contains an abundance of Dinorthis anti- 
costiensis , Clitambonites diversus , Hindella umbonata , and other 
fossils. Base of Ellis Bay formation. 10 feet. 
North Shore Section, Point Joseph to Fox Point 
Ellis Bay Formation. 
35. Granular, grey and reddish-grey limestone. Some beds 
contain blue mud pebbles. At the base is a 24-inch bed which 
is a conglomerate composed of what appear to be algal nodules. 
A few beds are sandy. There are also zones composed of fine- 
grained, nodular limestone which in places is intensely crumpled. 
One bed filled with Leptcena rhomboidalis may correlate with 
zone 11 of the Vaurial River section. Top of the Ellis Bay 
formation. Estimated at 50 feet. 
34. Thin-bedded, bluish-grey limestone flagstone. Con- 
tains Hindella umbonata and Beatricia undulata. In places the 
zone has a crumpled structure. 8 feet.
