Inlet Group
The Inlet Group was proposed as a geological unit for southeastern Newfoundland. It was made up of the Brigus Formation, Chamberlain's Brook Fm, Manuels River Fm, Chapel Island Formation The Chapel Island Formation is a sedimentary formation from the Burin Peninsula, Newfoundland, Canada. It is a succession of siliciclastic deposits, over thick, that were deposited during the latest Ediacaran and earliest Cambrian. Stratigraph ..., Burnt Island Formation and the Random Formation The inlet group term is no longer used as it was considered redundant to terminology used elsewhere on the island.https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Ed_Landing/publication/257298155_Stratigraphy_of_the_Bonavista_Group_southeastern_Newfoundland_growth_faults_and_the_distribution_of_the_sub-trilobitic_Lower_Cambrian_p_59-71_Figs_34-38_In_E_Landing_GM_Narbonne_and_P_Myrow_eds_1988_T/links/0deec524c8564b40c5000000.pdf References {{coord missing, Newfoundland and Labrador Regions of Canada ...

Newfoundland And Labrador
Newfoundland and Labrador is the easternmost province of Canada, in the country's Atlantic region. The province comprises the island of Newfoundland and the continental region of Labrador, having a total size of . As of 2025 the population of Newfoundland and Labrador was estimated to be 545,579. The island of Newfoundland (and its smaller neighbouring islands) is home to around 94 per cent of the province's population, with more than half residing in the Avalon Peninsula. Labrador has a land border with both the province of Quebec, as well as a short border with the territory of Nunavut on Killiniq Island. The French overseas collectivity of Saint Pierre and Miquelon lies about west of the Burin Peninsula. According to the 2016 census, 97.0% of residents reported English as their native language, making Newfoundland and Labrador Canada's most linguistically homogeneous province. Much of the population is descended from English and Irish settlers, with the majority ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Manuels River Fm
Manuels River Formation is a Middle Cambrian (Drumian) geological formation cropping out in the Random Island area of Newfoundland and elsewhere?. Its black/dark brown, finely laminated mudstones and thicker-bedded siltstones are occasionally interrupted by thin yellowish silty limestone horizons. Fossil content Recorded fossils include '' Clarella venusta'' (Billings, 1872) and '' Mawddachites hicksii'' (Salter, 1864).

Chapel Island Formation
The Chapel Island Formation is a sedimentary formation from the Burin Peninsula, Newfoundland, Canada. It is a succession of siliciclastic deposits, over thick, that were deposited during the latest Ediacaran and earliest Cambrian. Stratigraphy The formation's sequence stratigraphy is detailed in a journal article by Myrow and Hiscott. The formation starts in an intertidal zone, then, as the Cambrian progresses, becomes deeper water (outer shelf) as a general trend. The Chapel Island Formation lies on top of the Rencontre Formation and below the Random Formation. It is thick in Fortune Bay as a fault-bounded basin, consisting of grey-green siltstones and sandstones, with minor limestone beds near its top. Small shelly fossils have been recovered – primitive taxa only. The setting is nearshore or open shelf. Subdivisions The formation is divided into six members, numbered 1 to 5, with Member 2 split into 2A and 2B. The Proterozoic–Cambrian boundary occurs above the ...

Random Formation
The Random Formation is a rock unit in Newfoundland dating to the early Cambrian period, dominated by tidal quartz arenites deposited in a near-shore environment, but also incorporating intertidal and open-shelf deposits, including glauconitic and mud-cracked mudstones (now shales), and red channel sandstones. It was deposited quickly and is approximately thick. The Blue Pinion Formation was originally recognized as a separate formation, but is now interpreted as an expression of the Random Formation. Sedimentology Its white arenitic sandstones are very distinctive, recognizable from their herringbone cross-stratification that denotes the influence of storm systems. Interbedded green-grey sands and silts represent an intertidal setting. Spatial distribution It is widespread throughout Newfoundland unlike its underlying units. It was deposited in intertidal mud flats to subtidal setting, then (later) near the bottom of an open marine shelf. The top of the unit intergrades w ...
