| Lithological Description: |
Muscovite-chlorite-talc schist with included fragments of carbonate, psammite and siliceous semipelite; with a melange-type appearance.

| Definition of Lower Boundary: |
Sharp change from the typical psammite, micaceous psammite and garnetiferous semipelite of the Auchlyne Formation to schistose muscovite-chlorite-talc calcsilicate- rock with included fragments. |
| Definition of Upper Boundary: |
Sharp upward change from melange-type lithology back to the typical psammite, micaceous psammite and garnetiferous semipelite of the Auchlyne Formation. |
