Description

Graded turbidite beds in the Northeast Carry Formation, Seboomook Group, near Seboomook Lake. Thin beds are dominated by briwn sandstone which grades up to dark slate. Beds top to the left (southeast) in this image and are slightly overturned. Slaty cleavage refracts through the bed, having a shallower dip in the sandstone portion of the bed, gradually steepening as the sediment fines upward to slate.
