The purpose of this study is to re-examine the geology of the Antigonish Highlands. This involves: 1) mapping the distribution of the pre-Upper Devonian rocks of the Antigonish Highlands; 2) determining the stratigraphic sequence; 3) analyzing the structural and metamorphic histories; 4) describing the geochemistry and evaluating the petro-genesis of the igneous rocks; 5) determining the tectonic history of the highlands and evaluating its role in the evolution of the Appalachian Orogenic Belt; 6) evaluating the economic potential of the highlands.

The Cobequid Highlands of Nova Scotia lie within the Avalon composite terrane of the Appalachian Orogen. This report presents a description & interpretation of the field, structural, and laboratory studies of pre-Carboniferous rocks of the eastern part of the Highlands based on mapping at 1:10,000 scale. It includes information on the Precambrian & Palaeozoic sedimentary, volcanic, & plutonic rocks; geochemistry of selected rocks; uranium-lead age determinations; and structural geology, including deformation histories & faults. Correlations with rocks in the Antigonish Highlands are also discussed.

"Mapping in the Antigonish Highlands of Nova Scotia has resulted in a complete re-interpretation of the geological history of the region and its significance in the Avalon Zone. This study defines three new groups; the Georgeville Group (Precambrian) and the Iron Brook and MacDonald Brook Groups (both Cambrian)." --
