Interpretation and modelling of gravity data within the Meguma Terrane, central Nova Scotia
(1996-04-15)
Gravity methods can be used to identify geological features that exhibit sufficient density contrasts with the surrounding country rock. Collection and reduction of new gravity data in central Nova Scotia, combined with ...
Cretaceous marginal marine and freshwater rhizopods from central Nova Scotia, Canada
(1996-04-15)
This study of rhizopod assemblages, from two cores drilled near Shubenacadie, provides evidence for a marine connection to central Nova Scotia during the early Cretaceous. Five different rhizopod assemblages have been ...
Deformation and metamorphism in the contact aureole of the S. Mt. Batholith, Bedford area
(1996-04-15)
This study documents structures related to Halifax Pluton emplacement, in the Bedford area. Intrusion of the Devonian South Mountain Batholith caused both metamorphism and deformation of the Cambrian-Ordovician Meguma ...
The Highway 101 Landfill - what have we learned?
(1996-04-15)
The Highway 101 Landfill between Upper Sackville and Mount Uniacke, Nova Scotia has been in operation since 1977. Hydrochemical tests were routinely collected on 63 monitoring wells located at various depths in and around ...
Fluid inclusions and microstructure of flexural-slip bedding-concordant veins within the Ovens Anticline, Lunenburg, Nova Scotia
(1996-04-15)
Fluid inclusions and microstructure of flexural-slip bedding-concordant quartz veins (FSBCVs) from the Ovens Anticline of the Meguma Group, were assessed and provide data on conditions and mechanisms of flexural-slip ...
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 ...
