Field Description:

-moving west along the shore from last station the CGLM gradually die out and the SNDS becomes parallel bedded contain internal cross bedding but much better sorting
-quartz content slowly rises until the rock is protoquartzite
-there are 8 m section missing between the quartzite and HB bearing greywacke
-I don't know if this is a conformable contact or fault related
-both GRCK adn SNDS CGLM have some faulting involved containing thin mylonite seams
-greywacke is massively bedded but contain very little comp. variation so that the weathering charact. of beds is the only way to differ. bedding
-as in the SNDS CGLM layering is tightly folded and highly flattened
-the N edge of the greywacke exposure has 60 cm discont. white quartzite layer, below this are several thin arkosic layers (see sample B, ALTERATION?)
