Description

Pillow basalt in the Canada Falls volcanics of the Frontenac Formation. Bedding is nearly vertical and the rounded top of the center pillow indicates that topping direction is to the right, which is southeast. The second image shows a subhorizontal surface in the same outcrop. The lens cap is on the volcanic rocks which is conformably overlain with a thin layer of siltstone of the Frontenac Formation seen just above the lens cap.
