The Fisset Brook Formation in the Cheticamp area forms two elongate belts, a western belt which includes the type section of the formation in Fisset Brook and a separate eastern belt. In the western belt, the Fisset Brook Formation consists of (1) a lower, mainly sedimentary unit dominated by a basal conglomerate that overlies Proterozoic to Silurian metamorphic and igneous rocks, (2) a dominant middle part that consists of basaltic flows interlayered with minor red clastic sedimentary rocks, and (3) an upper part that consists mainly of rhyolite flows and tuffs. In the eastern belt, the basal sedimentary unit appears to be absent due to faulting, and the upper felsic unit is thicker than in the western belt. Mafic dykes in overlying sedime...
