  • R E P O R T S 112 Structure of the Minas Passage, Bay of Fundy: A
    Reports 112 Structure of the Minas Passage, Bay of Fundy: A Preliminary Report* DONALD J. P. SWIFT Duke University, Durham, N. C. FRANK L. JAGODITS Huntec Limited, Toronto, Ont. BERNARD L. MANISTRE Lockwood Survey Corporation Limited, Toronto, Ont. NORMAN R. PATERSON Huntec Limited, Toronto, Ont. Introduction From July, 1965 to March, 1966, a joint geological-geophysical study of the Minas Passage, Bay of Fundy, was undertaken by Huntec Limited of Toronto for the Atlantic Development Board of Canada. The purpose of the project was to test the feasibility of a tidal power station in the Passage. This paper presents a portion of the study, namely the structure of the geologically critical Minas Passage area and its bearing on regional structure. The Bay of Fundy is a funnel-shaped body of water lying between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick (Fig. 1). Fundy proper is 144 kilometers long, 100 kilometers wide at the base, and averages 75 meters in depth. The northeast end bifurcates into northeast-trending Chignecto Bay, and the east-trending Minas Basin. Three distinct bodies of water are included within the latter; the Minas Basin proper; the Minas Channel, separated from the basin by the great curved peninsula of Cape Blomidon-Cape Split; and the Minas Passage, connecting the Channel and the Basin (Fig. 2). ^Manuscript received 12 January, 1968.
