(1980-03-15)
A stratigraphic section of the Herbert River Limestone Member, Windsor Group, exposed on Pleasant Brook, Upper Pleasant Valley, N.S., consists of ten carbonate lithologies. From base to top of section (with their respective ...
The Applicability of the 40Ar/39Ar Stepwise Outgassing Method to the Dating of Slates
(1980-03-15)
Four samples ranging in composition from a pure slate to a pure metasiltstone, collected from the same location in the Lower Paleozoic Meguma Group, are age dated by the 40Ar/39Ar stepwise outgassing technique. The discordant ...
Evolution of the Phlogopite-Chrome Diopside-Spinel Pools in the Ultramafic Nodules of Pipe 200, Northern Lesotho
(1980-03-15)
Peridotites are ultramafic igneous plutonic rocks consisting of predominantly ferromagnesian minerals. Their mineralogy reflects their stability field at different pressures and temperatures.

Heavy mineral provenance studies were conducted on sandstones of the Wallace River Formation (Pictou Group) over an area of roughly 200 km2. As well, three major heavy mineral provinces were established. The strata cropping ...
Post-Pleistocene Sea Level Changes in the Baie Verte Estuary (Northumberland Strait) as Revealed by Foraminiferal Studies
(1980-03-15)
Two cores were obtained from the Baie Verte estuary of the Northumberland Strait to study relative sea level changes by examination of foraminiferal distributions.
The base of the cores contained a layer of salt marsh ...
Occurrence and Origin of Garnet in the South Mountain Batholith
(1980-03-15)
Garnet occurs around the margin of the South Mountain batholith as an accessory mineral in three distinct comagmatic phases. Electron microprobe analyses and textural relationships of 50 garnet-biotite pairs indicates that ...
