Comparison of Dikes and Screen Units Within the Transition Zone From Extrusives to Sheeted Dikes of the Troodes Ophiolite, Cyprus
(1995-04-15)
Petrological and geochemical investigations of a series of interleaved dikes and lava screens from the Transition Constructional Zone of the Troodos ophiolite are studied to determine whether differences in magnetization ...
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 ...
A Study of Carbonate Rocks From the Late Visean to Namurian Mabou Group, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia
(1995-04-15)
The Late Visean to Namurian Mabou Group of Cape Breton Island conformably overlies the marine to non-marine Windsor Group and unconformably to conformably underlies the fluviatile Cumberland Group. It represents the first ...
Structural Geology of the Meguma Group Adjacent to the Eastern Contact of the South Mountain Batholith
(1995-04-15)
The purpose of this study is to recognize and evaluate structural features that may be related to the emplacement of the South Mountain Batholith. The Acadian orogeny produced folds within the Meguma Terrane with a north-east ...
Magnetic Susceptibility of Halifax Formation Slates at the Halifax International Airport: Correlation with Potential for Acid Drainage
(1995-04-15)
The disruption by excavation or quarrying of sulphide-rich slate units of the Halifax Formation of the Meguma Group of Nova Scotia leads to oxidation of the sulphides and generation of acid drainage. Construction within ...
Marginal Marine Foraminifera and Thecamoebians in the Upper Cretaceous to Eocene Deposits of the South-Central Pyrenees, Spain
(1995-04-15)
The Upper Cretaceous to Eocene marginal marine sediments, in the northeastern Pyrenees of Spain, is a classic area in which to study sequence stratigraphy. Sequence stratigraphy requires strong sea-level control. The ...
Structure of Bedrock Offshore From Point Aconi, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia
(1995-04-15)
The Prince Colliery is a major offshore coal mine operated by the Cape Breton Development Corporation (DEVCO) in the Hub coal seam of the Sydney Mines Formation (Upper Carboniferous). This thesis presents the results of a ...
40Ar/39Ar Thermochronology Across a Transect of the Eastern Grenville Front Tectonic Zone and the Western Britt Domain of the Grenville Province, Georgian Bay
(1993-03-15)
40Ar/39Ar thermochronology of hornblendes from granitic gneiss and amphibolites in the Central Gneiss Belt (CGB) west of Key Harbour along northern Georgian Bay yields ages ranging from 1016 - 995 Ma. Muscovites from the ...
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 ...
Paleoceanographic Reconstruction of the Inner Scotian Shelf During the Younger Dryas: A Benthic Foramineral Study
(1994-03-15)
Examination of foraminifera from piston core 91-018-53P permits a paleoceanographic reconstruction of the Inner Scotian Shelf, with emphasis on the Younger Dryas cold period. A minimum in the total number of foraminifera ...
