Table Point Ecological Reserve

Between 468 and 458 million years ago the Appalachian Mountains were beginning to form. At the same time, the lapetus Ocean (ancestor of the Atlantic) was closing and the continental shelf was collapsing and breaking apart. A Carbonate belt existed along the edge of North America, which at the time lay across the equator. Located here are reserves of fossils and rocks that document the changes to the continental shelf and ancient ocean.
