Sedimentology and Tectonic Activities in Rawdon Hills, Nova Scotia
(1986-04-15)
The general Geology and Sedimentology of the Horton sedimentary deposits of Rawdon Hills were studied by using two drill cores and a few outcrops available in the area.
Vitrinite reflectance and fission track method ...
Sedimentology and Stratigraphy of Canso and Riversdale Fluvial Strata at Broad Cove, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia
(1986-04-15)
The cliff section located on the northeast shore of Broad Cove, Cape Breton, contain fluvial strata of both the Canso and Riversdale Group. The Canso strata are composed of two facies assemblages. The Coarse Member facies ...
Late Pleistocene - Holocene Benthonic Foraminifera from the Northern Scotian Shelf
(1986-04-15)
A micropaleontological study was carried out on a core taken from latitude 45.8oN in St. Annes Basin on the northern Nova Scotian Shelf. Benthonic foraminiferal assemblages were defined in terms of abundance and dominance ...
Fluvial Sedimentation in the Lower Member of the Cheverie Formation at Blue Beach, Nova Scotia
(1987-04-15)
The lower member of the non-marine Cheverie Formation that is exposed at Blue Beach, Nova Scotia, represents fluvial strata that were deposited during the late Tournaisian. The Blue Beach strata are composed of a coarse-grained ...
Lacustrine Cyclic Sedimentation in the Lower Carboniferous Horton Bluff Formation at Rainy Cove, Nova Scotia
(1987-04-15)
The Lower Carboniferous Horton Bluff Formation at Rainy Cove in Nova Scotia is an excellent coastal cliff exposure of lacustrine strata. The freshwater depositional conditions are inferred from the presence in the strata ...
Late Pleistocene-Holocene Paleoceanography of the Northeast Newfoundland Shelf; Benthonic Foraminiferal Evidence
(1986-04-15)
A micropaleontological study based on benthonic foraminifera was made of seventy-one samples from core 80-030-26 (Gravity and Piston) taken at a water depth of 267 m in outer Notre Dame Bay, northeast Newfoundland Shelf. ...
A Pollen-Stratigraphic Study of Late-Quaternary Vegetational Change at Porter's Lake, Nova Scotia, with Reference to Marine Intrusion
(1986-04-15)
Late-Quaternary sea level rise has caused two marine intrusions into Porter's Lake, Nova Scotia (Smith 1984), resulting in an interesting ecological history. Stratigraphic studies of the lake include work on diatoms and ...
Lithogeochemistry of the Goldenville-Halifax Transition (GHT) of the Meguma Group in the Manganiferous Zinc-Lead Deposit at Eastville, Nova Scotia
(1986-04-15)
Zentilli et al. (1984) have pointed out that most metalliferous deposits within the Cambro- Ordovician Meguma Group have a spatial relation to the Goldenville - Halifax Formation transition (GHT). The GHT is generally more ...
Paleoceanographic Trends on the Northern Scotian Shelf
(1986-04-15)
Paleoceanographic trends are recorded and reflected in the preservation of benthonic foraminiferal assemblages in ocean floor sediments. This study presents a succession of foraminiferal assemblages from an 8m core taken ...
Upper Carboniferous Fluvial Sedimentation in the Gulf of St. Lawrence Coal Basin, Mabou Mines, Nova Scotia
(1986-04-15)
Mabou Mines is located on the northwestern coast of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. Steeply dipping sedimentary strata of the Upper Carboniferous Pictou Group (dated as Late Westphalian C) are exposed on the shoreface. ...
