Several previously unidentified occurrences of possible Lower Cambrian strata have been discovered recently in the Eastern Volcanic Belt (Avalon zone) of southern New Brunswick. The basal part of the sequence is lithologically similar to the Lower Cambrian parastratotype on Hanford Brook near Saint John, New Brunswick. Some of the newly recognized Cambrian rocks crop out beneath major northeast-trending and north-dipping thrusts, and rest unconformably on subaqueous Upper Precambrian equivalents of the Coldbrook Group. The presence of these Cambrian rocks in the Eastern Volcanic Belt indicates that the Cambrian–Ordovician Iapetus Ocean transgressed across the entire Avalon zone of southern New Brunswick.
