Inlet Group Explained

The Inlet Group was proposed as a geological unit for southeastern Newfoundland. It was made up of the Brigus Formation, Chamberlain's Brook Fm, Manuels River Fm, Chapel Island Formation, Burnt Island Formation and the Random Formation^[1]

The inlet group term is no longer used as it was considered redundant to terminology used elsewhere on the island.^[2]
