Not illustrated. 1905 Excerpt: ...Chelmsford creek and south of the railway the dome rises completely above the clay and has been quarried for building stone. The cleared surface shows shell after shell of gently rounding beds sloping toward the plain, but to the southeast a gap has been cut out of the anticline so that 7a H (ill) a small bay penetrates the outer edge from the plain. The end of the anticline is f-lightly double, a very gentle depression separating a higher part to tho northwest from a lower swell to the southeast. Beyond this point tho anticline rises with a broken top to the height of from 75 to 125 feet or a little more, and keeps this height arid a width of about 600 yards for about a mile, when it sinks somewhat irregularly with a dome-like form into the-filain. The direction of the anticlinal axis is 65, the length is 2 miles and the width, if the outer remnants of strata which have been destroyed are counted in also, of about onehalf mile. If the crest of the anticline were completed from the outer remnants with the average dip of 18 or 20 at the edges, the height would be about 350 feet above the plain. Another anticline to the north of the railway is on a much smaller scale, but with steeper slopes, having a length of about a mile, a breadth of 700 feet. and a height of 80 feet. with a dip of 36 to the southeast and of 26 northwest. If it were completed its height would be about 125 feet above the plain. An anticline at the Larchwood railway bridge has steeper slopes still, one Bide dipping 43 northwest into the river, the other 44" southeast under drift. It is 730 feet wide where the section was made, and if restored would have a height of about 200 feet above Vermilion river. As fully half of the folds from trough to crest is buried under the clay, we ma...
