Geology of the Lewis Hills massif, western Newfoundland / by J.A. Karson.: M183-2/628E-PDF
"The Lewis Hills Massif of western Newfoundland is an assemblage of imbricate thrust slices comprised of igneous and medium- to high- grade metamorphic rocks. These thrust slices are separated from subjacent allochthonous slices of Lower to Middle Ordovician carbonates (unit 1), greywackes, and shales (unit 2) by gently folded subhorizontal thrust faults. The igneous and metamorphic rocks of the Lewis Hills Massif occupy the same structural setting as those of the highest structural slices of the Humber Arm Allochthon, exposed just to the north in the Bay of Islands area"--p. 1.
