The geology of the Sault Ste. Marie map-area.

The Sault Ste. Marie map-area lies at the western end of the Huronian belt along the north shore of Lake Huron. It includes rock formations that range in age from highly metamorphosed early Precambrian basement rocks to unmetamorphosed, flat-lying Cambrian sediments and unconsolidated Pleistocene glacial materials. The rock formations of the Sault Ste. Marie area have been arranged by earlier workers (McConnell 1926) into five major structural and stratigraphic elements, each quite distinct in age and character.
