Description :
A morphological study of the Baie des Chaleurs area, between northern New Brunswick and the Gaspé Peninsula (eastern Canada), leads to the identification of several types of palaeolandforms in the landscapes of the northeastern Appalachians. The study of palaeolandforms has already proved to be an appropriate method for reconstructing the evolution of basement areas. In this paper, it is applied to the study of the evolution of an emerged part of the eastern Canada rifted margin after the opening of the North Atlantic Ocean.
