The veins of black igneous rock found by the shoreline are more than 600 million years old.

Molten lava from the earth's depths seeped into a network of fractures and cracks when the St. Lawrence Valley was formed, becoming diabase rock.

Les filons de roche noire presents a proximite du rivage ont plus de 600 millions d'annees. La roche en fusion, provenant des profondeurs de la terre, s'est infiltree dans un reseau de fractures et de fissures, au moment de la formation de l'actuel vallee du Saint-Laurent.
