The tertiary series is evidently the same here as where seen in the Bad Lands 10 m. East of Astron Station. The puplish clays are the lowest beds seen &........... the lignites occur..................... the hills[?].
[This paragraph introduced over the above on micro-film]:
T'he period during which the greatest distribution of limestone was taking place may have been may have been that just previous to the formation of the Coteau or while its lower parts were being formed. Dr. Hector observed near the elbow of the Saskatchewan a remarkable line of boulders of Eastern limestone crossing the country in a direction parallel to the Coteau to the West. ''This line", he writes, "has been observed at points 30 & 40 miles apart. The[y] consist of great angular masses, consisting of several of the beds of limestone, the wherence of which being very slight proves that they must have been stranded without any great violence." One of the blocks was estimated to contain over 3,000 cubic feet of stone.
