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 ... -
Land-Use Change and Aquatic Macroinvertebrate Community Structure in the McIntosh Run, Nova Scotia Canada
(2012-04)Land-cover refers to the physical and biological cover of a land’s surface; including water, vegetation, soil, and/or artificial structures (Ellis 2011). This differs from land-use, which is a more complicated term that ... -
LATE CENOZOIC PALEOCEANOGRAPHIC CHANGES IN THE NORTHWEST PACIFIC USING RADIOLARIAN BIOSTRATIGRAPHY OF ODP SITE 1179 AND OTHERS
(2001-04-15)The radiolarian zonation of ODP Site 1179 was accessed using core-catcher samples. The data indicate that the soft sediments analyzed range from late Miocene to Recent. The radiolaria biostratigraphy of ODP Site 1179 yielded ... -
A Late Cretaceous polar forest, Emma Fjord, Northwest Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, Canada: Paleobotany, Paleoecology and Paleoclimatology
(2002-04-15)During the Mesozoic to Early Cenozoic greenhouse climate phase forests grew well within the polar circle. These unique polar forest ecosystems flourished in a warm, high-latitude environment where trees were subjected to ... -
Late Pleistocene - Holocene Benthonic Foraminifera from the Northern Scotian Shelf
(1986-04-15)A micropaleontological study was carried out on a core taken from latitude 45.8oN in St. Annes Basin on the northern Nova Scotian Shelf. Benthonic foraminiferal assemblages were defined in terms of abundance and dominance ... -
Late Pleistocene-Holocene Paleoceanography of the Northeast Newfoundland Shelf; Benthonic Foraminiferal Evidence
(1986-04-15)A micropaleontological study based on benthonic foraminifera was made of seventy-one samples from core 80-030-26 (Gravity and Piston) taken at a water depth of 267 m in outer Notre Dame Bay, northeast Newfoundland Shelf. ... -
LATEST CRETACEOUS-TERTIARY STRATIGRAPHY ON THE LAHAVE PLATFORM, OFFSHORE NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA
(2002-04-15)The LaHave Platform is a relatively stable segment of the continental margin of Nova Scotia, developed along the flank of the Scotian Basin. The latest Cretaceous through Tertiary part of the succession, designated the ... -
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 ... -
Lithofacies of the Lower Paleozoic Carbonate Shelf to Basin Facies Transition, West-Central Ellesmere Island, Canadian Arctic
(1983-04-15)The Upper Ordovician (Ashgillian) to Middle Silurian (Wenlockian) graptolitic carbonates and cherts of the Cape Phillips Formation accumulated in the deep water basinal environment of the Hazen Trough. The coeval platform ... -
Lithogeochemistry of the Goldenville-Halifax Transition (GHT) of the Meguma Group in the Manganiferous Zinc-Lead Deposit at Eastville, Nova Scotia
(1986-04-15)Zentilli et al. (1984) have pointed out that most metalliferous deposits within the Cambro- Ordovician Meguma Group have a spatial relation to the Goldenville - Halifax Formation transition (GHT). The GHT is generally more ...
