# An Interpretation of Multibeam Bathymetry off Eastern Oak Island, Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia

Gordon B. J. Fader, Robert C. Courtney, n.d.. _Geological Survey of Canada (Atlantic), Bedford Institute of Oceanography_.

A preliminary interpretation of a 1996 Canadian Hydrographic Service multibeam survey around the island. It states the bedrock: Windsor Group limestone and gypsum under the south-east half, Halifax Formation slate under the north-west, and notes seabed depressions that may be pockmarks or sinkholes.
