Formal presentations and record of discussions that took place at the conference, covering the evolution of geological surveys, including national, state, and provincial surveys; reconciliation of resources vs environment; changing resources and advanced materials; new concepts and new technologies in the earth sciences; international communication, cooperation, and collaboration; and regional perspectives. Also includes reports of commentators and a discussion on the establishment of a world geological survey committee.
Cores drilled from a quarry north of Montreal show a distinct lithostratigraphic unit occurring below the Upper Cambrian Cairnside Formation. The unit was previously considered as the Covey Hill Formation of the Lower Potsdam Group. This paper describes the regional geological setting, lithology, and depositional environment of this unit. Evidence for considering the unit as part of the Rivière Aux Outardes Member (Clark, 1966) is presented. Correlations with other stratigraphic units in southern Quebec are discussed along with evidence for a possible Cambrian carbonate platform in the region. Two scenarios of possible regional depositional episodes are also hypothesized.
