... equivalent, but mostly unstudied, ∼600 m thick succession of Grande Anse Formation lies in angular unconformity on folded and faulted Boss Point and basal Little River formations. Grande Anse Formation sedimentology indicates four lithofacies associations: floodplain (LA1), braided channel (LA2), sheet flood...

... Heritage Site, the post–Boss Point Formation succession comprises an ∼ 3 km succession of strata assigned to the Little River, Joggins, Springhill Mines, and Ragged Reef formations. North of the Minudie anticline, the Grande Anse Formation lies in angular unconformity on the Boss Point and basal Little...

...Howard J. Falcon-Lang; Michael J. Benton; Matthew Stimson Abstract Trackways representing the earliest evidence for the origin of reptiles (amniotes) are reported from the basal Pennsylvanian Grande Anse Formation, New Brunswick, Canada. Amniote characters include pentadactyl manus and pes, slender...

...-Lang et al . (2007 , p. 1113) claim ‘trackways representing the earliest evidence for the origin of reptiles (amniotes) are reported from the basal Pennsylvanian Grande Anse Formation, New Brunswick’. We note inaccuracies in the paper and bring attention to various lines of evidence, any one of which...

... sources, as their products are rarely hydrothermalized and are more vesicular. The breccia formation, and especially the progressive breaking up occurring during the debris avalanche displacement, indicates the existence of high speed transport. In the Cap La Houssaye coastal area, abrasion and striation...

... and formal stratigraphic names proposed. The Anse la Roche Formation of coarse volcaniclastics, limestone, and subordinate silts contains a Pliolepidina tobleri foraminiferal fauna associated with late Eocene plankton. Early Oligocene rocks were not recorded. Late Oligocene to early Miocene volcaniclastics...

Complex are con- sidered to have been preserved in their life growth position, although those in a few facies (e.g. Cap de l'Enfer, Pointe Pillar and proximal Anse Beebe facies) show evidence of hav- ing been transported.

..., the depositional facies oscillated between shoreline sands (Anse Cascon Formation) and peritidal limestones fringed by coralgal knob reefs and shallow subtidal lime sands (La Vieille Formation) ( Bourque et al., 1986 ; Desrochers and Bourque, 1989 ; Lavoie et al., 1992 ). One significant exception is a high...

... other geologists have examined Silurian strata in various parts of the peninsula. Clarke (1900 , 1908 , 1913 ) grouped Logan’s members of the Siluro-Devonian Forillon Peninsula section in eastern Gaspé into three formations, the St. Alban, Cape Bon Ami, and Grande Greve. Schuchert and Dart (1926...

... of the Armagh Formation in the Richardson Nappe are correlative ( Lebel and Hubert 1995 b ). The lower part of the Anse-Maranda Formation at the base of the Bacchus Nappe is possibly also correlative ( Landing et al. 2002 ) (Fig.  7 ). Where exposed, the thickness of these rock units is rather fairly constant...

... Llandoverian time and lasted at least until early Devonian time based on significant differences of thickness of the Burnt Jam Brook, Laforce, and Saint-Léon Formations from one side to the other of the Grande Rivière fault ( Figs. 7 , 8 , and 9 ), and thickening of the Chaleurs and Upper Gaspé limestone...
