Jul 31, 2012 (A Wilson) - At the south-east corner is a very shallow bay, affording entrance to a stream which is fed by a number of large cold springs that rise at the base of an amphitheatre-like gully, at the base of steep banks composed mainly of sand and gravel. The water of the bay, although so shallow, is very cold even during the hottest days of summer, while the whole bottom is covered with a deposit of shell marl of unknown depth. That this depth is considerable there is no reason to doubt, as the soundings made with long poles failed to reach the bottom of the deposit. Besides this bay the whole lake contains marl deposited on the bottom, while the pebbles and boulders near the outlet show a considerable coating of this loosely coherent, earthy carbonate of lime
Jul 31, 2012 (A Wilson) - An analysis of the marl gave a calculated value of CaCO3 of 86.28% and a calculated value of MgCO3 of 0.08%. The sample was of an undefined size.
