Green Point, Newfoundland and Labrador

Green Point is located 12 km north of the town of Rocky Harbour in Gros Morne National Park,[1] on the west coast of Newfoundland.

It is the home to a small summer fishing community and a drive-in campground.

The boundary is a section 60m thick composed of layers of shale and limestone with overturned beds dipping 60-70 degrees to the South East.

[2] The shales represent a 30 million year record of deep-ocean sediments laid in a base-of-slope environment in the Iapetus Ocean.

Portions of the same limestone avalanches that came to rest further up the coastal slopes are featured at Cow Head.
