Thrust fault in Frontenac Formation
No full textBroken sandstone beds of the Frontenac Formation in the upper plate of a thurst fault zone at the international border on Route 201. Note prominent sub-horizontal bed near bottom of image. The second image is from the same large road cut and shows steeply dipping beddding and a fold toward the right side. Bedding is highly distrupted by faulting. Note that much of this roadcut was destroyed by subsequent improvements at the border crossing.

Graded beds, Northeast Carry Formation
No full textGraded beds in the Northeast Carry Formation, Seboomook Group, at Seboomook Dam. Each turbidite bed is dominated by brown sandstone with a dark slate at the top. Each bed grades from a sharp base on the right to dark slate on the left. The topping direction is to the left in this image (southeast).

Pillow basalt, Canada Falls volcanics
No full textPillow basalt in the Canada Falls volcanics of the Frontenac Formation. Bedding is nearly vertical and the rounded top of the center pillow indicates that topping direction is to the right, which is southeast. The second image shows a subhorizontal surface in the same outcrop. The lens cap is on the volcanic rocks which is conformably overlain with a thin layer of siltstone of the Frontenac Formation seen just above the lens cap.
