Abstract
Submarine bedrock has been directly examined both east and west of the island of Newfoundland in an attempt to locate both sides of the Appalachian fold belt. A band of almost flat-lying Silurian strata, running parallel to and within a few miles of the west coast of the island, indicates that the Appalachian fold system ends abruptly between two and eight miles off shore. On the Great Bank of Newfoundland, the lithology and structural trends of the Ballard Bank, Virgin Shoals, and Eastern Shoals suggest that the Great Bank is geologically much like the Avalon Peninsula, except along its southern flank where fairly recent sediments have accumulated.
