Description

Photo 13: View towards the north-northeast of tight, shallow plunging, upright folds (f₂) in layered granofels of the Bucksport Formation (Sb). These second generation folds (f₂) are more common than the earlier recumbent folds (f₁) illustrated in Photo 12 and formed during roughly east-west directed compressional deformation associated with the Devonian Acadian orogeny. The geometry of these small-scale folds mimic the much larger scale folds that control the north-south trending outcrop patterns observed on the geologic map and displayed in cross section A-A'. Pemaquid Point, Bristol.
