Looking southeast from the north end of Durell Island: a strongly foliated (mylonitic) granite of Devonian age (centre foreground) in contact with the Goldenville Formation metasediments (right). These rocks were deformed by the terrane-bounding Cobequid-Chedabucto Fault Zone. The town of Canso is located in the upper right of the photo. (Photograph by Ron Garnett - AirScapes)
