What reading level is Excursion in Eastern Quebec And the Maritime Provinces Excursion A1 volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The fish beds are thus, in a broad sense, "Old Red-sandstone. " The ferry from Dalhousie stops at Maguasha Landing. Maguasha point lies 2 miles (3-6 km. ) to the east. Scau- menac bay covers the coast line from Maguasha point to High cape at the west — 3 miles (5 • 4 km. ). Westward from the ferry landing along the shore, are exposures of very interesting and suggestive boulder beds, loosely cemented, interlaminated with sand layers, all lying beneath the fish-bearing strata. These boulders are... largely limestone, freely containing fossils which are for the most part of normal marine Lower Devonian age. No fossils of later date than this age have been observed in them. There is no evidence of unconformity between them and the over- lying beds.
The fish beds stand in high cliffs reaching 100 feet (30m. ) or more in places and are essentially grey sand-shales and sandstones. The fish remains occur in the nodules and concretions, and in blocky parts of the shale beds. These beds afford the most abundant and some of the best pre- served fish remains of the Devonian, although the genera and species are few.
