<description><![CDATA[Manitoulin  IslandManitoulin Island (The Great Sprit Island, Ojibwa) lies in the northwest section of the Georgian Bay.  It is separated from the north, or mainland, by the North Channel.  In the south, it is outlined by Lake Huron.  The composition of the island include the main island--- Manitoulin Island, and two larger islands, and a series of smaller islands dotting the vicinity of the main island.  All of the islands in total cover a total land area of 3597 square kilometres.  The main island itself covers an area of 2766 square kilometres.  Therefore, Manitoulin is often referred as the &quot;world's largest inland island&quot; (Bird).  The locals often refer to the Island as &quot;the rock&quot;.  Understandably, the island has both a rich geographical, and geological perspective.             From these perspectives, Manitoulin Island's rich history stems primarily from the Palaeozoic and Mesozoic basin sequence.  The Palaeozoic sequence, or commonly referred to as the Palaeozoic era, occurred approximately 575-66 million years ago.  This era can be broken down into six periods:  Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous and Permian.  The Palaeozoic era was characterized by a number of seas that engulfed the North American lands, and presented an early aquatic life form.  This stage in the geological time scale occurs right after the Proterozoic stage.  Some geologists refer the Proterozoic stage as the very first stage.  Continental sheets of ice that cover most of the world characterized the first stage.  In a long timeframe afterwards, with the retreat of the oceans, basins were created by active periods of plate movements, and as this process continued, a series of mountain ranges erected along the eastern coast of North America:<br/><br/>66 Vote(s) ]]></description>
