Aug 27, 2012 (A Wilson) - The stripped outcrop exhibits a base of steeply dipping Archean sediments, primarily siltstones and argillites, unconformably overlain by the shallow-dipping mudstone-quartz-chert pebble conglomerate, which is interpreted to be the basal conglomerate of the Mississagi formation. This conglomerate forms a thin "cap" over the siltstone in the outcrop, in places less than an inch thick - as some of the channel samples on the conglomerate appeared to cut right through the unit into the siltstone. The conglomerate was also apparently more resistant to erosion since it forms topographic highs on the outcrop wherever it occurs and the siltstone forms the "valleys" and other low points of the outcrop. The contact with the basement sediments is usually irregular, but generally dips -20-300 to the east-southeast.
