(1) The upper unit consists of red continental clastic rocks of presumed Pcrmo-Triassic age, overlain by Triassic carbonate rocks.(2) The Allouez Conglomerate is composed mainly of red-colored clastic rocks with lesser amounts of sandstone and siltstone.(3) Mechanical deposition, by water or wind, produces clastic rocks composed of broken fragments, generally of silicate minerals and small pieces of rock: sandstones and conglomerates.(4) In contrast, the Cambrian clastic rocks are characterized by a paucity of these zircons, suggesting a significant difference between Neoproterozoic and Cambrian drainage systems.(5) No volcanic or clastic sedimentary rocks were obtained from Cavalli Seamount.
