Subsidence of the Scotian Basin: A Theoretical Model
(1978-03-15)
The development of a continental margin basin such as the Scotian Basin depends on various factors, exponential thermal contraction, sedimentary loading and the physical properties of the lithosphere underlying the ...
Depositional Analysis of a Section of the Lower Meguma (Lower Paleozoic), Ship Harbour, Nova Scotia
(1978-03-15)
A section of the lower Meguma (Lower Paleozoic) near Ship Harbour, Nova Scotia, was examined in detail in terms of bed thickness, sedimentary structures and grain size.
Interpretation of depositional processes and ...
An Application of Pleistocene Geology to Mineral Exploration in Southwestern Nova Scotia
(1978-03-15)
An esker complex near Yarmouth, Nova Scotia has been investigated to determine the mode of origin of the eskers and to evaluate their usage in mineral exploration. Field work involved describing sections through eskers, ...
Carbonate Petrography and Stratigraphy of Holes 96, 100 and 106, Gays River, Nova Scotia: Implications for Depositional Environment
(1977-03-15)
The lead-zinc deposit at Gays River, N. S. has been interpreted by previous studies as a Mississippi Valley type deposit hosted by an ecologic reef complex. Evidence now indicates that the host carbonate complex developed ...
Holocene History of Kings and Hartling Bays, Atlantic Coast of Nova Scotia
(1978-03-15)
Kings and Hartling Bays are typical of many exposed inlets with bayhead beaches which are prevalent along the Atlantic Coast of Nova Scotia. The present morphology of these two bays is a result of Pleistocene glaciation ...
Gravity and Magnetic Investigations of the Deep Cove Intrusive, Cape Breton County, Nova Scotia
(1978-03-15)
Gravity and magnetic surveys were conducted on the Deep Cove quartz monzonite intrusive to ascertain its subsurface configuration and, in particular, the attitude of its west contact with the surrounding Fourchu volcanic ...
Foraminifera of the Minas Basin and their Distributions
(1977-08-31)
One hundred and twenty-one samples of surficial sediments from all parts of the Minas Basin are analysed for foraminiferal content. Thirty-nine species are identified and described and maps of distribution are presented.
This ...
Gravitational Interpretation and Modelling of the South Mountain Batholith. Southern Nova Scotia.
(1978-03-15)
Much controversy surrounds the issue of the geometry of the South Mountain Batholith of southern Nova Scotia. Gravity data released by the Department of Energy, Mines and Resources within the last year has allowed a ...
Geological, Mineralogical and Fluid-Inclusion Studies at the Dunbrack Lead-Silver Deposit, Musquodoboit Harbour, Halifax County, Nova Scotia
(1978-03-15)
The Dunbrack deposit consists of a steeply dipping vein with argentiferous galena and other sulphides and sulphosalts in a gangue of predominantly quartz, hosted by altered adamellite granite. The vein appears to be ...
Petrology and Geochemistry of Ignimbrites from the Bears Brook Volcanic Group, Arisaig, Antigonish County, Nova Scotia.
(1978-03-15)
A chemical study of the ignimbrites of Arisaig, Nova Scotia, was undertaken to determine their geochemical character, any variations within flow units, and their relationship to associated volcanics.
The ignimbrites are ...
