Arcellaceans of Several Small Lakes in Southwestern New Brunswick; Their Modern Distribution and Stratigraphic Importance
(1983-04-15)Sediment-water interface samples from five small lakes in southwestern New Brunswick (Bonaparte Lake, Bocabec Lake, Gibson Lake, St. Patricks Lake and Big Pond [Deer Island]) were quantitatively examined for the presence ... -
A REGIONAL INVESTIGATION OF SCHEELITE OCCURRENCES IN THE MEGUMA QROUP OF NOVA SCOTIA
(1984-04)The scheelite deposits of the Meguma Group of Nova Scotia are found within interbedded veins in the slates and quartzites of the lower Halifax and upper Goldenville Formations. The veins are found at the edge of or within ... -
The Relationship of Coastal Drumlins to Barrier Beach Formation Along the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia
(1984-04-15)The Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia is experiencing post-glacial rise in relative sea level, resulting in a transgressive coastal environment. Drowned estuaries are fronted by eroding drumlin headlands which provide a sediment ... -
Upper Paleozoic Alluvial Plain Sedimentation in the Morien Group, Eastern Cape Breton, Nova Scotia
(1984-04-15)A section of upper Morien strata located near the western margin of the Sydney Basin was examined. Three sub-assemblages of sedimentary facies were recognized: Thick bedded sandstone characterized by a fining-up ... -
The Origin and Occurrence of Cordierite in the South Mountain Batholith
(1984-04-15)Cordierite occurs on both sides of the contact between the South Mountain batholith and the Meguma metasediments, in southwestern Nova Scotia. Textural features of the cordierites in the batholith, the xenoliths, the Meguma ... -
The Sedimentology of Glaciofluvial Deposits Near Upper Nine Mile River, Nova Scotia
(1984-04-15)Four sand and gravel pits east of Upper Nine Mile River expose parts of a 25 km long ridge of unconsolidated glaciofluvial sediment. Twenty five (25) stratigraphic sections were measured along fresh exposures in the ... -
Arcellaceans in Eastern Canada: Selected Biostratigraphic and Biological Studies
(1984-04-15)Arcellaceans (testate rhizopods) are considered as part of the artificial group known as "thecamoebians". Arcellaceans exist in all modern freshwater environments, and they have been found to have value as indicators of ... -
Infraspecific Variation in Arcellacea (Thecamoebians) from Eastern Canada and a Selected Biostratigraphic Study
(1984-04-15)Clones of several morphotypes of the arcellacean species Centropyxis aculeata (Ehrenberg) were established and the range of variation in individual clones was examined. Considerable morphological variation was noted, ... -
The Lower Cretaceous Ellerslie Formation of Southeast Taber and Chin Coulee Oil Fields, Southeastern Alberta
(1984-04-15)Sandstones of the Lower Cretaceous Ellerslie Formation overlie a major unconformity in southeastern Alberta. Post-Jurassic erosion produced a subcrop pattern on which an extensive drainage system developed in Lower Cretaceous ... -
The Question of Relationship Between Low and High Grade Metamorphic Rocks in the French Mountain Area, of the Cape Breton Highlands, Nova Scotia
(1984-04-15)French Mountain in the Cape Breton Highlands of Nova Scotia is underlain by two broad metamorphic complexes: a metasedimentary complex and a composite gneiss complex. The metasedimentary complex, located on the southwestern ... -
Geophysical Analysis of Field and Laboratory Measurements at the Eastville Lead-Zinc Deposit Colchester County, Nova Scotia
(1985-04)A large part of the mineralization of the Meguma Group is associated with the Goldenville - Halifax Transition. This Transition zone produces geophysical anomalies. Horizontal loop E.M. surveys show a strong conductive ... -
Arcellaceans in Nova Scotia: Selected Biostratigraphic Studies
(1985-04-15)Surficial sediment samples and cores from both Albro and Penhorn Lakes were examined to determine the biostratigraphy of the lakes, based on arcellaceans. Considerable morphological variation of species is noted and ... -
The Contact Metamorphic Effects of a Granitoid Pluton on Zinc-Lead Mineralization in the Manganiferous Metasediments of the Meguma Group, Eastville, Colchester County, Nova Scotia
(1985-04-15)The distribution of mineral resources in the Meguma Zone has been found to be spatially associated with the transition of the Goldenville and Halifax Formations (GHT, Zentilli and MacInnis, 1984). The Eastville deposit ... -
A Refraction Seismic Survey of Martinique Beach: Geometry and Significance to Barrier Beach Evolution
(1985-04-15)During the summer of 1984 a refraction seismic survey was conducted at Martinique Beach using a 12 geophone array and seismic recorder with a hammer plate as the acoustic source. Sixteen sites were occupied along the 3.5 ... -
The Analysis of High Resolution Shallow Seismic Reflection Data from Sable Island Bank
(1985-04-15)This project involves the analysis of high resolution shallow seismic reflection profiles collected on the south flank of Sable Island Bank. The objective of this study is to gain an understanding of the genesis and sediment ... -
The Sedimentary Environment of the Late Cretaceous St. Mary River Formation, Southwestern Alrerta
(1985-04-15)It is the purpose of this study to interpret the sedimentary environment which produced the St. Mary River Formation (SMRF) . This study attempts to expand on the preliminary sedimentological work of previous authors py ... -
A Seismostratigraphic Analysis of High Resolution Seismic Reflection Data from the Western Grand Banks of Newfoundland
(1985-04-15)A seismostratigraphic analysis of data from the western Grand Banks of Newfoundland has enabled the definition of seven acoustic units. Units were defined on the basis of high resolution, seismic reflection profiles, airgun ... -
The Manganiferous Slates of the Cambro-Ordovician Meguma Group at Lake Charlotte, Halifax County, Nova Scotia.
(1985-04-15)In recent years there has been considerable interest in manganiferous sediments of the oceans. This interest is due to the special environment required to form manganiferous sediments, the association with other metals, ...
