Palynology and Stratigraphy of an Upper Cretaceous Sedimentary-Volcanic Sequence, Emma Fiord, Northwest Ellesmere Island, N.W.T, Canada.
(1989-04-15)Terrestrial sedimentary units (lignite and siliclastics) are interbedded with bimodal volcanic units (alkali basalts, silicic volcanics and pyroclastics) on an unnamed peninsula between Audhild Bay and Emma Fiord (81o30'N, ... -
PALYNOLOGY OF THE LOWER CRETACEOUS CHASWOOD FORMATION, ELMSVALE BASIN AND SHUBENACADIE OUTLIER, NOVA SCOTIA
(2002-04-15)The unconsolidated sand and clay deposits of the Shubenacadie and Musquodoboit basins have been documented in detailed studies since the 1950's. General mapping projects from as early as the 1900's have postulated that the ... -
Parental Factors That Affect the Connectedness to Nature of Pre-School Aged Children in Halifax, Nova Scotia
(2022-04)Time spent in nature has been found to promote a connectedness to nature (CTN) in both children and adults (Gifford & Nilsson, 2014; Deville, 2021). However, it has been found that people in North America are spending ... -
Partition of Uranium in Four Canadian Examples of Mississippi Valley Type Base Metal Deposits: Pine Point, N.W.T.; Polaris, N.W.T.; Newfoundland Zinc, Newfoundland; and Gay's River, Nova Scotia
(1977-12)Fission track analyses of minerals host rocks, and fission track mapping of uranium in samples from four Canadian Mississippi Valley type deposits, indicates that uranium concentrations in these samples are very minute ... -
The Petrochemistry and Origin of the Bourne Complex, Northwestern Ellesmere Island, Canada
(1991-04-15)New petrological and petrochemical analyses provide insight into the origin of the hypabyssal and volcanic rocks of the Bourne Complex, northwestern Ellesmere Island, Canada. Field relationships and petrographic characteristics ... -
Petrogenesis of the Goose Cove Copper Deposit, Northwestern Newfoundland.
(1983-03-15)The Goose Cove copper deposit lies within the Goose Cove Schist of the St. Anthony Complex, northwestern Newfoundland. The initial theory of ore emplacement was epigenetic replacement of the greenschist host rocks (Stephenson, ... -
The Petrography and Depositional Environment of the Cardium Formation in the Rocky Mountain House Area of Central Alberta
(1980-03-15)The Cardium Sandstone in the Rocky Mountain House area of the Garrington and Ferrier fields of Alberta is part of a progradational sequence consisting of marine shale at the base through sandstone to conglomerate, followed ... -
Petrography and Geochemistry of Anhydrite Units from the Canadian Salt Company Mine, Pugwash, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia
(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 ... -
PETROGRAPHY AND TRACE ELEMENT CHEMISTRY OF CALCITE VEINS IN THE DEEP DRILL 1972 DRILL CORE, BERMUDA ISLANDS
(2022-04)The Deep Drill 1972 drill core of the Bermuda Islands provides a representative sampling of Bermuda’s volcanic basement lithologies. Although there have been studies of the two primary lithologies over the past 50 years, ... -
A Petrologic Study of the Hydrothermal Alteration and Ore Mineral Deposition in Drill Core Samples from Agrokipia, Cyprus.
(1983-03-15)The effects of hydrothermal alteration and ore mineralization were studied in 34 basalt drill core samples from the Agrokipia Cretaceous seafloor hydrothermal system in Cyprus. Transmitted and reflected light microscope, ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
