Capsule Geology

The Ecoole Harbour showing is located on the south side of Seddall Island in Barclay Sound, 36 kilometres southwest of Port Alberni.

A deposit of white, crystalline limestone of the Upper Triassic Quatsino Formation (Vancouver Group) extends westward from the harbour for 1.5 kilometres. The limestone strikes 117 degrees, dips 60 degrees northeast and is overlain by volcanics of the Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group.
