(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 ...
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, ...
Identification of the Carrier of Magnetization in a Basalt Core from Bermuda
(1987-04-15)
Peckenham (1981) attempted to use the magnetic properties of a basalt core from Bermuda to help him define the stratigraphy of basalt flows present in the core. The results of his investigation were not helpful. Magnetic ...
Regional Mapping and Petrographic Study of a Silurian Gneissic Complex, Belle Cote Road, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia
(1987-04-15)
The Leblanc Lake area is located in the central Cape Breton
Highlands south of the Cheticamp River. The main study area is
situated along Belle Cote Road, one of the numerous logging roads

The Petrology and Geochemistry of the Port Mouton Migmatites
(1987-04-15)
This study is centered on the migmatites found along certain portions of the contact between the Port Mouton pluton of Shelburne and Queens counties, Nova Scotia, and the local host lithology. The field relations, petrology ...
A Study of a Late Devonian-Carboniferous, Porphyritic Microgranite-Hosted, Hydrothermal Breccia Pipe in the Mount Pleasant Caldera Complex, New Brunswick, Canada
(1987-04-15)
The South Oromocto Lake (SOL) breccia zone is located approximately 5.3km NE of Mount Pleasant in the Mount Pleasant caldera complex, south-western New Brunswick, Canada. Late stage hydrothermal activity during cooling of ...
AR-40/AR-39 AGE STUDIES OF MAFIC VOLCANICS FROM THE SVERDRUP BASIN, ARCTIC CANADA
(1987-04-15)
Cretaceous extrusive volcanism in the Sverdrup Basin is widespread and appears to have occurred in four major episodes (Valanginian, late Barremian, late Albian, and late Cenomanian/early Turonian). In addition to these ...
Fluvial Sedimentation in the Lower Member of the Cheverie Formation at Blue Beach, Nova Scotia
(1987-04-15)
The lower member of the non-marine Cheverie Formation that is exposed at Blue Beach, Nova Scotia, represents fluvial strata that were deposited during the late Tournaisian. The Blue Beach strata are composed of a coarse-grained ...
Lacustrine Cyclic Sedimentation in the Lower Carboniferous Horton Bluff Formation at Rainy Cove, Nova Scotia
(1987-04-15)
The Lower Carboniferous Horton Bluff Formation at Rainy Cove in Nova Scotia is an excellent coastal cliff exposure of lacustrine strata. The freshwater depositional conditions are inferred from the presence in the strata ...
