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 ... -
Foraging Ecology of Great Black-backed and Herring Gulls on Kent Island in the Bay of Fundy
(2010-04)I studied the foraging ecology of the generalist predators Great Black-backed (Larusmarinus) and Herring (Larusargentatus) Gulls on Kent Island, in the Bay of Fundy. To study diet, I collected pellets casted in and around ... -
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 ... -
Foraminiferal Assemblages From a Sediment Core From the Inner Scotian Shelf: Implications for Till-Tongue Stratigraphy and Paleoceanography
(1995-04-15)The inner Scotian Shelf juxtaposes the Nova Scotia coastline, ending at the 100 m bathymetric contour, and consists of several zones based on seismic sequences and sea-bottom morphology. At the maximum extent of the last ... -
Forestry Management in Cuba: An Environmental History of the 20th Century
(2008-04)Environmental history explores the relationships and interactions that humans have –and have had- with the environment. These relationships and interactions were researched in the context of the ecological history of ... -
Fossilized Forests of the Lower Carboniferous Horton Blufff Formation, Nova Scotia
(2003-04-15)The Hurd Creek and Blue Beach members of the Horton Bluff Formation (Tournaisian) at Horton Bluff on the Bay of Fundy contain several forested levels. Evidence for standing trees is found in the form of moulds and casts ... -

Genesis of the Volcan Copiapo Sulphur Deposits, Maricunga District, Chile
(1991-04-15)The Miocene age Copiapo Volcanic Complex is located in the heart of the Maricunga gold mining district in the southernmost part (Latitude 27oS) of the Andean Central Volcanic Zone. The largest cone in this complex, Volcan ... -
A Geochemical Study of the Carboniferous Audhild Volcanics, Northwestern Ellesmere Island, Arctic Canada: Initial Volcanism in the Sverdrup Basin
(1989-04-15)Spilitized basalt flows constitute the largest portion of the Late Carboniferous Audhild Formation exposed on Kleybolte Peninsula, northwestern Ellesmere island. The flows were erupted subaerially and are commonly separated ... -
The Geochemistry and Geochronology of the Shelburne Dyke of Nova Scotia and the Messejana Dyke of Spain
(1994-03-15)This paper is a geochemical and geochronological study of two rift-related Mesozoic basaltic dykes. The Shelburne Dyke of Nova Scotia and the Messejana Dyke of Spain are extensive vertical sheets of intrusive rock that are ... -
Geochemistry and Petrogenesis of Late Cretaceous Bentonites from the Kanguk Formation, Axel Heiberg and Ellesmere Islands, Canadian High Arctic
(1994-03-15)Petrographic and geochemical analyses of bulk bentonites, volcanic minerals, and unaltered glass inclusions in quartz phenocrysts reveal the composition and tectonic setting of Late Cretaceous explosive volcanism in the ... -
