Sep 24, 2019 (Sheree Hinz) - Deformed Huronian sedimentary rock lies unconformably on the granite basement complex. Immediately above the unconformity are outcrops of the Mississagi Formation. The Mississagi rocks consist of quartzite and arkosic beds with argillite partings and scattered thin interbeds of quartz-pebble conglomerate. The beds dip steeply to the northwest, and face in the same direction. The unconformity is exposed at a few places and is marked by a 3-foot transition zone between massive local arkose and massive pink granite. The Mississagi Formation is locally radioactive near the granite contact
