Ichnocoenoses from the Carboniferous of eastern Canada and their implications for the recognition of ichnofacies in nonmarine strata.
Mar 01, 2003; ... ABSTRACT Sixty-six suites of trace fossils from thirty-four different localities were collected or observed in the Carboniferous Mabou and Cumberland groups of western Cape Breton Island. Recurrent suites have been compiled into thirteen ichnocoenoses. Twelve of these ...
Foliar forms of Macroneuropteris scheuchzeri (Pennsylvanian, Sydney Coalfield, Nova Scotia, Canada).
Mar 01, 2003; ... ABSTRACT Macroneuropteris scheuchzeri has been extensively figured and called by many different names, particularly in the European literature, since the species was erected in 1699. Much of the nature of this arborescent-medullosalean tree still remains to be documented, i.e., ...
The Cretaceous age of the Vinegar Hill silica sand deposit, southern New Brunswick: evidence from palynology and paleobotany.
Mar 01, 2003; ... ABSTRACT A small outcrop of quartz (silica) sand has been recognized at Vinegar Hill, near Cassidy Lake south of Sussex, New Brunswick, since the 1980s and extracted for commercial purposes. The deposit overlies Carboniferous rocks and underlies glacial deposits, and its setting ...
[sup.40]Ar/[sup.39]Ar age of the Jurassic North Mountain Basalt, southwestern Nova Scotia.
Mar 01, 2003; ... ABSTRACT Two whole-rock samples of the Jurassic North Mountain Basalt have been dated using the [sup.40]Ar/[sup.39]Ar method. A single sample of fresh, medium-grained, holocrystalline basalt from the lower flow unit of this thick (i.e., 400 m) sequence gave coincident plateau ...
Age and geochemistry of Late Neoproterozoic and Early Cambrian igneous rocks in southern New Brunswick: similarities and contrasts.
Mar 01, 2003; ... ABSTRACT Late Proterozoic to Early Cambrian igneous rocks are major components of the fault-bounded Caledonia, Brookville, and New River terranes of southern New Brunswick. As previously demonstrated, ca. 620 Ma and ca. 560-550 Ma volcanic and plutonic rocks of the Caledonia ...
