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 ...
Depositional Analysis of a Section of the Lower Meguma (Lower Paleozoic), Ship Harbour, Nova Scotia
(1978-03-15)
A section of the lower Meguma (Lower Paleozoic) near Ship Harbour, Nova Scotia, was examined in detail in terms of bed thickness, sedimentary structures and grain size.
Interpretation of depositional processes and ...
An Application of Pleistocene Geology to Mineral Exploration in Southwestern Nova Scotia
(1978-03-15)
An esker complex near Yarmouth, Nova Scotia has been investigated to determine the mode of origin of the eskers and to evaluate their usage in mineral exploration. Field work involved describing sections through eskers, ...
Carbonate Petrography and Stratigraphy of Holes 96, 100 and 106, Gays River, Nova Scotia: Implications for Depositional Environment
(1977-03-15)
The lead-zinc deposit at Gays River, N. S. has been interpreted by previous studies as a Mississippi Valley type deposit hosted by an ecologic reef complex. Evidence now indicates that the host carbonate complex developed ...
Holocene History of Kings and Hartling Bays, Atlantic Coast of Nova Scotia
(1978-03-15)
Kings and Hartling Bays are typical of many exposed inlets with bayhead beaches which are prevalent along the Atlantic Coast of Nova Scotia. The present morphology of these two bays is a result of Pleistocene glaciation ...
Gravity and Magnetic Investigations of the Deep Cove Intrusive, Cape Breton County, Nova Scotia
(1978-03-15)
Gravity and magnetic surveys were conducted on the Deep Cove quartz monzonite intrusive to ascertain its subsurface configuration and, in particular, the attitude of its west contact with the surrounding Fourchu volcanic ...
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.
