The White Rock Formation Metavolcanics at Cape St. Mary, Nova Scotia: Petrography, Geochemistry, and Geologic Affinities.
(1981-03-15)
A 156 meter thick section of the Silurian White Rock Formation occurs at Cape St. Mary, southern Nova Scotia in the core of a southwest plunging syncline. It includes four metabasite units identified as basaltic flows, and ...
Whole Rock Analysis using the Electron Microprobe
(1981-03-15)
Rock powders ranging in composition from a peridotite to a granite were fused on molybdenum and tantalum strips in a vacuum and a nitrogen atmosphere. A low voltage high amperage source was used to melt the rock powders. ...
Depositional Analysis of the Upper Meguma (Halifax Formation) at Ovens Park, Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia
(1981-03-15)
Two sections of the Halifax Formation, Meguma Group (Lower Paleozoic) at Ovens Park, Nova Scotia, were examined for sedimentary structures, grain size and facies associations.

A Study of Sulfide Mineralization in the Meguma Group Sediments Gold Brook, Colchester County, Nova Scotia.
(1982-03-15)
A preliminary study of representative drill core from the Gold Brook property (of Sulpetro Minerals Limited), Colchester County, Nova Scotia was undertaken, to describe the styles of strata-bound and vein-type mineralization ...
DEPOSITIONAL ENVIRONMENT OF THE LOWER PALEOZOIC SEDIMENTS ON THE GRAND BANKS OF NEWFOUNDLAND
(1982-03-15)
Lower Paleozoic platformal sediments on the Avalon Peninsula continue offshore in the area between the Avalon Peninsula and the Virgin Rocks. Dating of ten drilled cores from the offshore area and continuous seismic profiles ...
Geology, Geochemistry, and Genesis of the Brazil Lake Pegmatites, Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia
(1982-03-15)
The Brazil Lake pegmatites, located about 25 km northeast of Yarmouth, intrude amphibolites and orthoquartzites of the White Rock Formation on the eastern flank of the Yarmouth syncline. The pegmatites are of igneous origin ...
Depositional Environments and Diagenesis of a Section of the Herbert River Limestone Member, Windsor Group, Upper Pleasant Valley, Nova Scotia
(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 ...
Magnetic Properties of a Bermudian Pillowed Lava Flow
(1982-03-15)
This study is concerned with the description and interpretation of the opaque mineralogy and paleomagnetic properties of a 3.0 m core interval which is comprised of a pillowed lava flow and basal intrusive sheet taken from ...
A Lower Carboniferous Sedimentary-Volcanic Succession, North Baddeck River, Nova Scotia
(1982-03-15)
A comprehensive study was made on a roughly 60 metre thick succession of sedimentary and volcanic rocks on the North Baddeck River, central Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. The sequence comprises thinly-laminated grey ...
Marine and Coastal Geology Between Hartlen Point and Jeddore Cape, Nova Scotia
(1982-03-15)
Acoustic and sample data have been collected in a 600 km2 area of the innermost Scotian Shelf along the Eastern Shore just east of Halifax. In addition sediment distribution has been mapped and rates of coastal change ...
