Excerpt from The Geology of Steeprock Lake, Ontario, And, Notes on Fossils From Limestone of Steeprock Lake, OntarioBefore proceeding with the statement of the observations which necessitate a change in the interpretation of the geology of Steep rock lake, it may be said that the exposure of the rocks about the lake is probably much better than it was at the time of Smyth's visit in 1891. The region has been extensively, and in places very thoroughly denuded of its forests by fires, so that one may walk inland from the shores of the lake at many localities over bare glaciated rock surfaces. Smyth's observations were confined to the shores of the lake, and his mapped distribution of the formations away from there was conjectural, as was generally the case with maps made at that period in the Archaean terranes of western Ontario. His observations as to the extent and distribution of the two most important members of the Steeprock series: I, the basal conglomerate, and, II, the limestone about the shores of the lake, appear to have been most careful and accurate. The only modifica tion which I was able to make in his mapping of these formations on the actual shore line was the extension of the conglomerate (i) to the main shore on the northeast side of Northwest bay. I also found no evidence of the fault which he places through Birch point.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
