Figure 3. Bedding in the Bar Harbor Formation. This sea stack is about ten feet high and is located several hundred feet southeast of the pier in Bar Harbor. The bedding is inclined only slightly from the horizontal, indicating only minor deformation affected these rocks. Contrast these sediments with the highly metamorphosed Ellsworth Schist shown in Figure 2.
