...Q. Gall; R.N. Hiscott ABSTRACT The Deer Lake subbasin of the Maritimes Basin developed as a northeast-trending half-graben which was extensively faulted along its eastern side. Within the subbasin, the Deer Lake Group (North Brook, Rocky Brook and Humber Falls formations) and Howley Formation...

.... Elsewhere, the basal beds of the Barachois Group lie unconformably on pre-Carboniferous rocks. The Barachois Group in the Codroy and St. George’s Bay lowlands correlates with the Humber Falls and Howley formations of the Deer Lake Subbasin of western Newfoundland and with the Pomquet Formation of the Mabou...

Regional correlation of lower Paleozoic (Cambrian to lower Middle Ordovician) stratigraphy of the St. Lawrence Lowlands of SE Ontario and SW Quebec. Interpreted relative sea-level fluctuations are shown on the right side of the figure. The hiatus between the Cairnside and Theresa formations is correlative with the unconformity within the Philipsburg Group section of southern Quebec, and together, are interpreted to have been the result of latest Cambrian sea-level fall. KAM = Tremadocian Kamouraska quartz arenite and limestone conglomerate within slope strata of the Appalachian Humber Zone. Modified after Dykstra and Longman (1995).

..., mudflats, islands, saltmarsh and reedbeds. The estuary forms the centre of the Humber wetlands, a much larger area of some 300 000 ha where tidal activity in the past contributed to the making of the landscape. The Humber estuary commences at Trent Falls at the confluence of the Rivers Ouse and Trent...

... lithologies are highlighted in this paper. The Middle Jurassic rocks are unconformably overlain by shallow-marine systems of the Humber Group such as the Piper Formation (Oxfordian), one of the principal Outer Moray Firth Basin hydrocarbon reservoirs (e.g. Harker et al. 1993). These shallow-marine sandstones...

... that the younger of the two lakes, which has a 45 m shoreline, was possibly connected to Lake Humber in the Vale of York through the Derwent Valley. Evidence for such a lake was provided by mapped shorelines at Malton and Pickering that appear compatible with shorelines in Lake Humber. To account for deep erosion...
