The Campbellton Formation is the southernmost representative of the Gaspé Sandstones group [2] and can be divided into 6 facies associations (restricted lacustrine , marginal lacustrine, near-shore lacustrine, coastal-deltaic, sandy to gravelly alluvial plain , and gravelly proximal alluvial environments), and is nearly a kilometer thick.[1] Lacustrine facies are prevalent in the lower parts of the eastern belt (representing a large open lake) while upper parts of the formation are dominated by alluvial facies (representing an eastward-flowing axial braided river system).[1]
