The basalt is sandwiched between Triassic age clastic sedimentary rocks of the Blomidon and Scots Bay formations. (Note: The Blomidon Formation is not shown on this map series. See Keppie (2000) for location). The North Mountain Formation consists of three members which are arranged in a conformable, layer-cake stratigraphy dipping gently (2-5°) towards the Bay of Fundy; however, more irregular dips locally occur in the middle member (^Fnmm) owing to the inflation of individual pahoehoe-type flows during formation. Importantly, zeolites are common in the members and in the case of the middle member (^Fnmm) pervasive. Full details of previous work, zeolite occurrences and formation and the physical volcanology are found in the selected references given on maps OFM ME 2010-8 to 2010-12.
