Indian Point Formation

The Indian Point Formation is a geologic formation in Quebec. It preserves fossils dating back to the Ludlow epoch of the Silurian period.
Description.
The Indian Point Formation comprises thin- to thick-bedded, locally fossiliferous, calcareous siltstones, fine-grained sandstones, calcarenites, and minor biostromal limestones, conglomerates, red siltstones, and mafic volcanic rocks. The Indian Point Formation is conformably overlain by within-plate tholeiitic mafic to intermediate flows and flow breccias of the Archibald Settlement Formation, developed as a synsedimentary normal fault in the Late Silurian, based on the presence of polymictic conglomerate beds in a thickened Indian Point section east of the fault. Post-Early Devonian (Acadian) orogenic events have produced open to close folds with northeast-trending axes.
