Depositional and Environmental Interpretation of the Meander River Carbonate Sheet, Avondale, Hants County, Nova Scotia.
(1979-03-15)
Detailed investigation of the Lower Carboniferous Meander River carbonate sheet (Limestone 2, Subzone D of the Windsor Group) exposed at Avondale, Hants County, Nova Scotia, reveals a pair of incomplete, asymmetrical, ...
Environmental Interpretation of the Upper 3C, the 4R, and the Lower 4E Member a of the Helikian-Aged Parry Bay Formation, Bathurst Inlet, N.W.T.
(1979-03-15)
A stromatolitic, clastic, dolomite-mudstone section, within the central portion of the Parry Bay Formation, Bathurst Inlet, N.W.T., is described. The section is divided into seven lithological units, each of which are ...
Experimental Investigations of Viscous Remanent Magnetization Using a Continuous Measurement System
(1979-03-15)
This study showed that with a simple circuit modification this new continuous measurement system of viscous remanent magnetization (VRM) can be made more flexible as a far as the magnitude of the applied field and VRM ...
A Study of some Trace Metals in Surface and Ground Waters at Bridgewater, Nova Scotia
(1978-03-15)
Much controversy has arisen concerning the water quality in an area northwest of Bridgewater, Nova Scotia.
To resolve the problem, water samples were taken and analyzed for trace metals, from the area which was also ...
A Study of the Rare Earth Element Geochemistry and Mineral Chemistry of the Anorthosites and Related Rocks near Pleasant Bay, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia
(1979-03-15)
The anorthosites and related rocks of this study are located about 5 kilometres east of the village of Pleasant Bay, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. The anorthosites outcrop as a thin (~900m), northeast-trending lens with ...
Stratigraphy and Depositional Environment of the Meaghers Grant Formation of the Musquodoboit Valley, Central Nova Scotia.
(1978-03-15)
The Meaghers Grant Formation is a Lower Carboniferous siliclastic sequence in the Musquodoboit Valley of central Nova Scotia. It has been studied in outcrop and mainly in core. It lies wholly within the Lower Windsor Group ...
Mode of Extrusion of Frenchman's Barn, Dunn Point Volcanic Formation, Arisaig, Antigonish County, Nova Scotia.
(1979-03-15)
Frenchman's Barn, near Arisaig, Nova Scotia, is an enigma. It contains some of the textural characteristics of ash flows and lava flows and some which are not common to either. Part of the problem is that many of the ...
Metamorphism of the George River Group; Gold Brooks, Victoria County, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia.
(1979-03-15)
The Precambrian George River Group of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia is characterized by metasediments and metavolcanic rock types.
A sequence of predominantly feldspathic quartzites slates and quartzites at Gold Brooks ...
Regional Geochemical Variations of Upper Cenozoic Volcanic Rocks in the Andes
(1978-03-15)
Regional variations in the chemical composition of Miocene-to-Recent volcanic rocks from the Central Andes are investigated on the basis of 260 chemical analyses compiled from the literature in addition to 25 new analyses ...
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 ...
