Crystalline limestone outcrops 1.0 kilometre north of McNaughton Point (Middle Point), 8.0 kilometres southeast of Pender Harbour on the Sechelt Peninsula. The limestone occurs as narrow lenticular beds that are faulted and folded. These beds are contained in finely banded siliceous schist within a narrow, north trending pendant of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation (Vancouver Group) basalt in quartz diorite of the Jurassic to Tertiary Coast Plutonic Complex (in this area Upper Jurassic) (Geological Survey of Canada Open File 611).
