This spectacular view is of the famous Triassic-Jurassic boundary at Five Islands, Nova Scotia, Canada. To the left is a complexly-faulted and highly deformed block of Jurassic CAMP basalts of the North Mountain formation. To the right it conformably overlays the Triassic Blomidon formation playa-lacustrine mudstones with the Triassic-Jurassic boundary located within the light grey sediments under the basalt.
