ABSTRACT
Mispec Beach, New Brunswick is a coastal exposure of deformed
Carboniferous
sedimentary rocks. Late Paleozoic deformation in the region is
thought
to have occured in a restraining bend in the Cobiquid - Chedabucto
fault.
Within this exposure, two main generations of deformation are
recognized.
The first deformation is associated with slaty cleavage
development,
pebble
elongation, and the formation of quartz veins. The second
generation
structure
is a moderately developed crenulation cleavage. The diversity of
structures
present at this outcrop allows for a qualitative determination of
the
principal
axes of stress and strain associated with the first generation
structures.
