the Atlantic and the present Bay of Fundy
thoroughly established.
The difference in level of the Bay of Fundy
may have been caused by local flexing during
the Ice Period forcing the tides into Mines
Basin at higher levels. As other bays were

the water in Mines Basin.
South Mt. back of Wolfville has the
strata dipping to the north-west about 20 to 30
degrees. The village is on Ordovician strata
while to the north comes in the Triassic.
Beneath the Ordovician are very much compressed
shales of a Hurick-type shales with many bands
of a gellwood shale. These are probably Ordovician.
