The Harcourt Group is a stratigraphic group of siliciclastic rocks deposited in the Gondwanan Margin, cropping out in the Avalon Zone of Newfoundland.
Ferryland is a town in Newfoundland and Labrador on the Avalon Peninsula. According to the 2016 Statistics Canada census, its population is 414.
Avalonia was a microcontinent in the Paleozoic era. Crustal fragments of this former microcontinent underlie south-west Great Britain, southern Ireland, and the eastern coast of North America. It is the source of many of the older rocks of Western Europe, Atlantic Canada, and parts of the coastal United States. Avalonia is named for the Avalon Peninsula in Newfoundland.
Terra Nova National Park is located on the east coast of Newfoundland in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador, along several inlets of Bonavista Bay. The park takes its name from the Latin name for Newfoundland; it is also the original Portuguese name given to the region.
Conception Bay South is a town located on the southern shore of Conception Bay on the Avalon Peninsula of the island of Newfoundland, Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The town is commonly called C.B.S.
A Rogen moraine is a subglacially formed type of moraine landform, that mainly occurs in Fennoscandia, Scotland, Ireland and Canada. It is one of the three main types of [hummocky moraines]. They cover large areas that have been covered by ice, and occur mostly in what is believed to have been the central areas of the ice sheets. Rogen moraines are named after Lake Rogen in Härjedalen, Sweden, the landform's type locality. Rogen Nature Reserve serves to protect the unusual area.
Fractofusus misrai is an Ediacaran fossil discovered in 1967 by S.B. Misra at Mistaken Point, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, which has since become the Mistaken Point Ecological Reserve. It was named after Professor Misra in 2007.
The Avalon Peninsula Campaign occurred during King William's War when forces of New France, led by Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville and Governor Jacques-François de Monbeton de Brouillan, destroyed 23 English settlements along the coast of the Avalon Peninsula, Newfoundland in the span of three months. The campaign began with raiding Ferryland on November 10, 1696 and continued along the coast until they raided the village of Heart's Content
The Chamberlain's Brook Formation is a thin but distinctive geologic formation of dark red calcareous mudstones that crops out from Rhode Island to Massachusetts and, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland. It preserves fossils, including trilobites, dating back to the lower mid-Cambrian period. Its lowermost member is the Braintree Member and the uppermost member is the Fossil Brook Member.
The Brigus Formation is a fossiliferous upper lower Cambrian geologic formation in Newfoundland and Labrador.
The Mistaken Point Formation is a geologic formation in Newfoundland and Labrador. It is recognized as a Lagerstätte preserving fossils dating back to the Ediacaran period. It contains a stratum dated to 565 ± 3 million years ago.
The Conception Group is a geologic group in Newfoundland and Labrador. It preserves fossils dating back to the Ediacaran period. It mainly contains turbidites, but is interrupted by a glacial diamictite, and tops out with sand and siltstones . It corresponds to the lower portion of the Connecting Point Group
The St John's Group is a fossiliferous shale-dominated Ediacaran geologic group in Newfoundland and Labrador, younger than 565 ± 3 million years ago.
The Random Formation is a rock unit in Newfoundland dating to the early Cambrian period, dominated by tidal quartz arenites deposited in a near-shore environment, but also incorporating intertidal and open-shelf deposits, including glauconitic and mud-cracked mudstones, and red channel sandstones. It was deposited quickly and is approximately 175 m thick. The Blue Pinion Formation was originally recognized as a separate formation, but is now interpreted as an expression of the Random Formation.
The Smith Point Formation is an Early Cambrian, fossil-rich, pink to brick red limestone formation cropping out in Newfoundland.
The Connecting Point Group is a Late Neoproterozoic geological formation cropping out on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland, dominated by deep marine turbidite deposits.
The Signal Hill Group is a siliciclastic Group of marine Ediacaran strata, cropping out in Newfoundland, in the eastern Bonavista Peninsula and the eastern Avalon peninsula.
The Musgravetown Group is a terminal Ediacaran stratigraphic group of terrestrialish sandstones, lavas and tuffs cropping out in Newfoundland.
The Love Cove Group is a metamorphosed volcaniclastic sedimentary group cropping out in southeastern Newfoundland. Strata from towards the middle of the formation have been dated to 620 ± 1 million years ago.
The Bull Arm Formation is a volcanic formation cropping out in Newfoundland, the youngest of the Musgravetown Group. It is defined as everything between the first and last volcanic horizon, with a recognition that some sandstones will be interbedded, and its start and finish may vary across the region depending on how widespread volcanic horizons are in practice.
The Heart's Desire Formation is a formation of 'olive-green' sandstones cropping out in Newfoundland.
