Near Walton, Nova Scotia on the shore of the Bay of Fundy (tides ~13 m) Map

Rainy Cove is a small bay in the inner reaches of the Bay of Fundy, famous for its extreme tidal range. The coastal section at low tide exposes the Carboniferous - Triassic unconformity. The underlying sequence consists of folded and faulted shales and siltstones of the Horton Bluff Formation. Interestingly, the folds are actually inverted (upsidedown). Keen observers may be able to find way-up indicators. The overlying sequence includes fluvial conglomerates and sandstones of the Wolfville Formation. These rocks represent high energy deposits as a result of failed rifting roughly coincident with the trend of the Bay of Fundy.
