Not illustrated. 1897 Excerpt: ... part of my aim to disprove the existence of faults along the line referred to. These may quite well exist; but there is assuredly no one gigantic displacement, such as the theory I am combating would require; while any faults which do occur cannot be greatly different from the others of the district, and do not prevent the true relations of the rocks from being discoverable. 1 I have fully considered the evidence adduced by Dr. Callaway and Professor Blake, and have examined the ground, and can come to no other conclusion than that stated in the text. But see Mr. Blake-s remarks, Geol. May. 1891, p. 483. 2 There is no continuous section now visible at this place, but the two groups of rock can be traced to within a few feet of each other, both inclined as usual in the same direction, and the black shales appearing to pass under the others. Where the supposed elliptical fault reaches the shore at Carmel Point, the two groups of rock seem to me to follow each other in unbroken sequence.1 The black slates, which are admittedly Lower Silurian, dip underneath a breccia and greenish (Amlwch) slates. Not only so, but bands of similar black slates occur higher up, interstratified with and shading-off into tuffs and greenish slates. Further, bands of coarse volcanic breccia occur among the black slates south of the supposed break. These, in accordance with the exigencies of theory, are represented as separated by a network of faults from the black slates amid which they lie. But good evidence may be found that they are truly interbedded in these slates. In short, the whole of the rocks in that part of Anglesey form one great series, consisting partly of black slates, partly of greenish slates, with abundant intercalations of volcanic detritus. The age of the base o...
