Description
A full-colour folding map exploring the geological highlights of New Brunswick and PEI.
This detailed, full-colour, double-sided folding map features 90 geological highlights of New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, from fractured igneous rocks at Sugarloaf Mountain, lithic sandstone at Kings Landing, massive sea stacks at Hopewell Rocks, to the coastal geology of North Cape and the impressive parabolic dune system at Greenwich.
Each site is accompanied by a short description with parking and outcrop coordinates. The detailed map depicts geological groupings and a more generalized map demonstrates colour-coded tectonic zones and cover sequences. The map side also features a detailed geological timeline. Information panels on the region's geological history, minerals, fossils, and national parks are included on the reverse.
This project is a joint publication of the Atlantic Geoscience Society and the New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development.
