ABSTRACT The Cow Head Group is an Early Palaeozoic base‐of‐slope sediment apron composed of carbonate and shale. Whereas coarse‐grained conglomerate and calcarenite are readily interpreted as debris‐flow and turbidite deposits, calcilutite (lime mudstone), calcisiltite, and shale combine to form thr...
