Asset Overview

45.186110 N, 64.173472 W Scene is approximately 350 m x 350 m Near Cheverie, Nova Scotia on the shore of the Bay of Fundy (tides ~13 m) [Map](https://goo.gl/maps/DvexibCcDsF11Xgy7) Split Rock is a headland in the inner reaches of the Bay of Fundy, famous for its extreme tidal range. The coastal section at low tide exposes a spectacular folded sedimentary sequence. The shales and siltstones are part of the early Carboniferous (~350 Ma) Horton Bluff Formation and the folding is constrained to older than 315 Ma based on cross cutting diabase dykes ([Waldron et al., 2010](https://doi.org/10.1139/E09-071)) Approximately 345 images taken with a Phantom 4 Pro. Grid pattern (75% overlap) at 70 m altitude and oblique images to cliff at ~40-50 m from cliff face.
