SILICATE AND SULPHIDE MINERAL ASSEMBLAGES AND METAMORPHIC FABRICS FROM PELITES IN THE CONTACT AUREOLE OF THE SOUTH MOUNTAIN BATHOLITH, HALIFAX AREA, NOVA SCOTIA
(1998-04-15)
Contact metamorphism resulting from intrusion of the South Mountain Batholith
(SMB) at 372 Ma produced textural and mineralogical changes in rocks of the Meguma
Supergroup. A detailed petrographic study of the contact ...
EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF CATION EXCHANGE BETWEEN FORMATION WATERS AND SANDSTONES AND SHALES, PHALEN COLLIERY, CAPE BRETON
(1998-04-15)
The Phalen Colliery mines coal from the Phalen seam in the Upper Carboniferous
Sydney Mines Formation. Flooding events in the colliery since 1992 warrant an
investigation of the origin and chemical history of the inflow ...
Seismic Velocities of Crustal Samples from the Tomgat Peninsula and Nain: ECSOOT'96
(1998-04-15)
The subsurface geology of central and northern Labrador, as well as the Labrador
Shelf, is presently being interpreted through the use of various seismic techniques. In the
fall of 1996, LITHOPROBE funded a wide-angle ...
MIGMATITES OF THE MUSKOKA DOMAIN, GRENVILLE PROVINCE, ONTARIO
(1998-04-15)
The Muskoka Domain, Central Gneiss Belt, Grenville Province, Ontario, is characterized by
widespread highly migmatitic orthogneisses. The purpose of this study is to describe a variety
of migmatites and associated rocks ...
VELOCITY STRUCTURE OF A METHANE HYDRATE STABILITY ZONE, OFFSHORE VANCOUVER ISLAND
(1998-04-15)
The occurrence of methane hydrates within marine sediments of the accretionary prism of
the Cascadia Margin, offshore Vancouver Island has been inferred by the occurrence of a
bottom simulating reflector (BSR), which is ...
Cambrian Multichambered Foraminifera from the Halifax and Goldenville Groups of the Meguma Supergroup, Nova Scotia
(1998-04-15)
Foraminifera in the Cambrian are rare; only ten genera have been recorded and these
were all simple tubular and branching unilocular forms found in West Africa. The
discovery of an organic lens within the Goldenville ...
CHARACTERIZATION OF SEISMIC AMPLITUDE ANOMALIES AT HIBERNIA USING 3D SEISMIC DATA
(1998-04-15)
The Chevron et al. Hibernia P-15 well penetrated one of many bright spots
and encountered gas. Bright spots are one of four 'direct hydrocarbon indicators' and
result from the high acoustic impedance contrast from gas ...
SEDIMENTOLOGY, FACIES SUCCESSIONS AND CYCLICITY OF A SECTION OF THE JOGGJNS FORMATION, JOGGINS, NOV A SCOTIA
(1998-04-15)
The Joggins cliffs near Amherst, Nova Scotia, form one of the world's premiere Carboniferous
coal-bearing exposures. A 145 m section was measured in the vicinity of Bell's Brook. The
section is classified into three ...
THE JOGGINS AND SPRINGHILL MINES FORMATIONS FACIES MODEL AND INTERPRETATION OF THE PALED-ENVIRONMENT
(1998-04-15)
The type section of the Joggins Formation is located along the eastern shore of Chignecto Bay,
Nova Scotia. A bed-by-bed measurement of the Carboniferous strata within a 200m stratigraphic
zone encompassing the Joggins ...
ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS OF THE OLD DUNBRACK MINE DUMP, MUSQUODOBOIT HARBOUR, NOV A SCOTIA
(1998-04-15)
The Dunbrack Pb-Cu-Zn prospect, located 5 km north of Musquodoboit Harbour and 45
km east ofHalifax, Nova Scotia, ceased operations in 1920. The Devonian
Musquodoboit Batholith hosts the minerals in a ca. 300 Ma quartz ...
