Faults occur at right angles to the axis of North Mountain, at

 of these faults is seen in the offset of the North Mountain basalt, 

 and in the valleys along the fault-lines. 



On the shore of Annapolis Basin near Port Wade, and at Digby, 

 there are exposures of slightly cemented sand, containing blocks

 and to underlie the basalt flows of North Mountain. 1 



These beds are of post-Wisconsin age, because of (1) the lack 

 of consolidation, except very locally; (2) the yellow color, like 

 ordinary stream gravels (unlike any Triassic deposit except the
