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 ...
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 ...
