Latest Pleistocene-Holocene Paleoceanographic Trends on the Inner Scotian Shelf off the South Shore of Nova Scotia: Benthonic Foraminiferal Evidence
(1988-04-15)
Two piston cores, 78-005-112 and 77-002-15, from the Inner Scotian Shelf off the South Shore of Nova Scotia provide the basis for a micropaleontological study of the paleoceanographic trends. The study of benthonic ...
Examination of a Zoned Pegmatite and Host Rocks At Port Joli, Nova Scotia
(1988-04-15)
The Wickwire pegmatites are located Port Joli Harbour, approximately 28 km southeast of Liverpool, Queens County, Nova Scotia. These pegmatites form a series of semi-parallel veins and dykes, which vary in thickness from ...
A Comparative Petrological Study of Three Nova Scotian Intrusions: the Jeddore Dyke, the Sober Island Dyke, and the Marshdale Intrusive
(1988-04-15)
A thorough investigation of three igneous bodies found in Nova Scotia (Jeddore dyke, Sober Island dyke, and Marshdale plug) has brought out a number of important results. The two dykes, located along the Eastern Shore, are ...
Origin of Foliation in the Barrington Passage Pluton
(1991-04-15)
New studies provide insight into the processes producing the penetrative foliation observed in the Barrington Passage Pluton (BPP). Preferred alignment of primary minerals, imbrication of feldspars, preferred alignment of ...
The Petrochemistry and Origin of the Bourne Complex, Northwestern Ellesmere Island, Canada
(1991-04-15)
New petrological and petrochemical analyses provide insight into the origin of the hypabyssal and volcanic rocks of the Bourne Complex, northwestern Ellesmere Island, Canada. Field relationships and petrographic characteristics ...
Petrography and Geochemistry of Anhydrite Units from the Canadian Salt Company Mine, Pugwash, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia
(1987-04-15)
Evaporitic rocks exposed in the workings of the Canadian Salt Company Mine at Pugwash, Nova Scotia consist of massive, nodular and stylolitic anhydrite and clear white, reddish brown to black halite with minor occurrences ...
Geophysical Modelling of the LaHave Clay and Emerald Silt Formations, Lahave Basin
(1990-04-15)
A seismic reflection profile across part of the LaHave Basin shows 4 continuous, strong reflectors. This study relates the observed seismic reflection data to the measured physical properties (velocity, density, porosity, ...
Gravity Modelling of the Liscomb "Satellite" Pluton
(1988-04-15)
The Liscomb "Satellite" Pluton is a small granitoid mass located northwest of the main Liscomb Complex in central Nova Scotia. Detailed gravity data has been obtained over the smaller pluton, and from the surrounding area. ...
Magnetic Anomalies Near Ore Bodies and Mineralized Zones in the Troodos Ophiolite of Cyprus
(1989-04-15)
The Troodos ophiolite in southwestern Cyprus has been a major producer of copper since the Bronze age. As such, the area has been studied and mapped extensively, and most known mineralized areas have been studied. Preliminary ...
The Chemical Composition of Granite-Related and Mineralization-Related Tourmaline in Nova Scotia
(1987-04-15)
Tourmaline is a common accessory mineral which occurs in a wide variety of mineralogical settings. This mineral is commonly found in sedimentary, metamorphic, and granitoid intrusive rocks and their associated aplites, ...
