Excerpt from Excursion in Eastern Quebec and the Maritime Provinces, Vol. 2: Excursion A1 The interest attached to the Riversdale - Union series does not lie directly in the structures presented by these measures nor in the characters of the faunas or floras they may carry. It arises from the fact that though this series locally at least, is as much as feet m.) thick, apparently is widely displayed over a considerable portion of Nova Scotia, and has been studied and mapped in detail, yet one group of geologists holds that the strata are of Devonian age while another group contends that the measures are of Carboniferous, probably Pennsylvanian, age.
