Several different explanations of the structure of the George River rocks at North Mountain have been suggested in the past, none of which has proved to be very satisfactory.
Milligan has proposed that the structure is ...
Copper in the North Mountain Basalts, Nova Scotia
(1978-03-15)
The North Mountain basalts are quartz-normative tholeiites stretching from Cape Split to Whipple, Nova Scotia. The lavas have been subjected to zeolite facies metamorphism. Native copper occurs in trace quantities associated ...
