The tilting probably occurred about 390 million years ago when two
small plates of continental crust merged with each other along the
Cobequid Chedabucto Fault System.
Vertically tilted, Cambrian
metasedimentary rocks.
Mainland Nova Scotia is bisected by the Cobequid-Chedabucto fault
system, which links the Bay of Fundy with Chedabucto Bay. South of
this fault system lie metasedimentary rocks of the Meguma Terrane,
and intruded rocks of the South Mountain batholith such as the
granites seen at Peggy's Cove. North of the fault zone lie volcanic
and sedimentary rocks of the Avalon Terrane, similar to those
recognized in the southern parts of Newfoundland and New Brunswick.
To claim the
earthcache you must send me the answers to the following 3
questions:
1.what is the estimated height of this rock face
2.what is the estimated degree of tilt to the rock(within 5
degrees)
3.what type of rock is present at these cords?
