GENERAL RELATIONS 



The Acadian Triassic is preserved as a rather narrow, discon- 

 tinuous border to the Bay of Fundy and Minas Basin. The Bay 

 of Fundy has a northeast-southwest trend, with the island of Grand 

 Manan at the entrance. The Triassic extends from the southwest 

 end of Grand Manan to Truro, a distance of 195 miles. The width 

 of the Bay of Fundy, from Digby to St. John, is 45 miles - 0n both 

 the New Brunswick and the Nova Scotia shore, the Triassic appears: 

 in New Brunswick on Grand Manan Island, at Split Rock (Gard- 

 ner's Creek), Quaco, Martin Head, and Waterside; in Nova Scotia 

 on the island of Isle Haute, and in a quite continuous strip from 

 Advocate around Minas Basin and down the Bay of Fundy to 

 Brier Island at the entrance.
